Ok, i don't speak HTML, javascript, css and all those things... only the basics
I am a bit out of space in some page in my site.
I thought i could use ajax to remove a div from the page and insert another one. The reason why i want to remove the first one is because they overlay.
This ajax library appears to be pretty simple to use (I am fluent in php).
Just before i start writing any code... this is perfectly possible without any major tricks right?
Just getting rid of a div? You don't need AJAX, just simple JavaScript. Like this:
document.getElementById('yourdivid').style.display = "none";thank you
Ok... I created a toggle ( visible/invisible ) function i want to use in a few elements on a page, how do i set some elements invisible from the beggining?
Execute it through the body's onload handler.
Ok... i don't know how to use quotes in js, if i can escpae them, if single quotes is the same as double quotes, etc
None of these work, the second one for obvious reasons.
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('checkboxes').style.display = 'none';">hide checkboxes</a><a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('checkboxes').style.display = "none";">hide checkboxes</a>They work about the same as in PHP; You can escape them, put special characters (\n) in double quotes, ...
And if something doesn't work, I suggest you open up your error console 
I have no experience in javascript debugging.
I use firefox error console, but thats kind of unpractical. What console and/or other debuggind tools would you recomend me?
Have you tried the Firebug extension? I barely know any Javascript, but Firebug has gotten me out of a few tight corners nevertheless.
I don't see how it's unpractical: it shows the error perfectly.
And you can always install Console², that allows you to filter errors.
