Same old story works fine on Firefox. Not on IE. So far, it seems that this line var panelset = document.getElementById(panelsetname).getElementsByTagName('div'); doesn't work on IE. And possibly this line var hideMe = panelset[i].id;

Any help would be appreciated.

Several hours later, after deleting one object at a time....

SOLVED: the problem is that my div id="description". IE is confused since we also have a meta tag with the name="description". Apparently IE does not make a distinction between ids and object names

Here is the script for you to copy. Just change the id for the "panels" from "description" to some thing else. I am using "panelcontents." You'll also need the graphics for the tabs and the part of the CSS labelled "tabI"
