How can I check the display style?

[Cod-nes]

I tried several times already and it still won't work.

<div id="con2" style="display:block;">Text</text><script type="text/javascript">if(document.getElementById('con2').style.display == "block") { alert("Ok");}</script>

EDIT: It works now. ; Apparently, external css doesn't work.

Why does the closing tag read "text" and not "div"? Besides being invalid, that would cause the division element to remain open past the script tag, and thus not be ready when the script is run.

to read styling from external css, you need to use

<script type="text/javascript">if(getStyle(document.getElementById('con2'), 'display') == "block") {alert("Ok");}function getStyle(el, cssprop){ if (el.currentStyle) //IE  return el.currentStyle[cssprop] else if (document.defaultView && document.defaultView.getComputedStyle) //Firefox  return document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(el, "")[cssprop] else //try and get inline style  return el.style[cssprop]}</script>
