what text should appear then? please give an example for that - should the text be loaded dynamically from a database or do you have it already on the page? basicly you just need the opposite of what you have already ... so you set the display-css of a div to 'none' ... so to make another div visible just set the display property of that div to 'block' and one more note: don't use the eval-like syntax for the timeout ... it's just useless and ugly ;) ... use a function reference instead:

[code=javascript]
window.setTimeo ut(closeHelpDiv , 5000);
[/code]
kind regards
