howdy~

I want JavaScript control iframe properties and the page nested, for example i'd like to switch visibility of iframe by clicking somewhat checkbox, how to achieve that plz ???

set the css display property to none

<iframe id="ifr" src="page.htm" style="display:none"></iframe>

then toggle its value to inline/none to display/hide as the checkbox is checked/unchecked.
i.e.
document.getElementById("ifr").style.display='inline';

thanx, can that display control whether the iframe be hidden or not ?
and what values can i take from the visibility property ?

I said display property not visibility although they are similar. display does not occupy space when set to "none", while visibility still occupies the space even when set to "hidden".

Hey, I would find anouther way then using an IFRAME to display your data. Search google for alternatives and you'll find a few. I say this because I've been working on a page with one on it and IFRAME is not a good choice if you want it to work in multiple browsers. Firefox does not support it as I know. Just a heads up if you want to reach the most users.
