    Hi guys / gals,

    I'm trying to finish my first css/xhtml website and am having trouble getting the last bit working.

    I've got a div in the header, containing lots of lovely keywords and links for the search engines to lap up - but its ugly so I want to hide it all with moo.fx - and if people want to see them they can click the top right button and display them.

    This works fine in Firefox but doesnt work in IE?!

    Can anyone explain how to fix it? It was working at the beginning, but something I did whilst getting the site to validate stopped it working.

    Cheers!!!

    from what it looks like, the links point nowhere. Are you sure that your visitors might need to see the actual keywords ? I know it isn't on topic and even a bit discouraging but i find that module useless in terms of user experience.

    I you really can't live without that effect in the div I am sure that people around here will help you as I am not in the posture of giving any advice because of the lack of experience with moo.fx.

    However if that can be avoided you know you can use some negative margins or negative text indentations to clear the div out of the page and still keep its SEO functionality.

    Either way, have fun.

    EDIT

    Please ignore the comment above, I just had another look at your page and I see the use of those keywords and whare they are pointing. Unfortunately there isn't a way for us petty useres to hide our shameful comments via delete. ;)

    display: none; your keywords division will do the same thing without the javascript.

    Thanks, I wanted to style it and use it as a permenant site map list.

    run out of time so just went with display:none in the end.

    Thanks for the help anyway!

    that is a scetchy SEO practice. and you should really consider not doing that. what happens when the user has css off. or looking at the page text obly??? use the meta tags thats what they are their for.

    I'll second that.

    use the meta tags thats what they are their for.

    Unfortunately they don't carry much weight anymore when determining SEO results because of people spamming the crap out of them in the past too.
