Why not commenting that line 14? Can you use the Javascript debugger?

Hi,

I'm not sure what the ö character in your onclick attributes are, but I think these need to be changed to regular o

Something like ...
From:

HTML

<table><tbody><tr><td><a önclick="First()">First</a></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><tbody><tr><td><a önclick="Second()">Second</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

To:

HTML

<table><tbody><tr><td><div onclick="First();">First</div></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><tbody><tr><td><div onclick="Second();">Second</div></td></tr></tbody></table>

I've also swapped out your archor tags for divs, as it's not good practise to use an anchor tag without an href value.
I also added the missing semi-colons after the function call in the onclick methods.

Hope it helps.

This 'ö' is just the artifact of CodeProject formatting of the code. Chances are, OP's original code had 'o'.
Look: OP fixed it. But it works as expected.

Thanks Alex, perhaps the original code is large, i pasted a modified one.. Below is the code as is, please suggest :

<script type="text/javascript">
function showmyTable(){
document.getElementById("tabinfHide").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("PackageExpandAnchor").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("PackageHideAnchor").style.display = "block";
}
function HideTable(){
document.getElementById("tabinfHide").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("PackageHideAnchor").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("PackageExpandAnchor").style.display = "block";
}
</script>
<table id="tabinf">
<tr><td class="tdSpecialtitle" colspan="2">PACKAGE FOLDERS :</td></tr>
<tr><td class="tdinfError" colspan="2">NOTE : The Below folders are present in the folder: %ProgramData%\AppV\3E2E9B5B-8E7B-4665-A544-D47C8CB76EA8\E8806E62-BFF8-4AA9-B656-B4DFAB6233B2</td></tr>
<tr><td class="tdinfError" colspan="2">NOTE : Folders under VFS and Scripts folder are listed in bold Purple
Other folders are displayed in blue</td></tr>
<tr><td class="tdinfStitle" colspan="2"><div id="PackageExpandAnchor" önclick="ShowmyTable();" style="display:none">+ Expand Folders</td></tr>

Puzzled, I tried your code. It works as expected. Perhaps the problem is in your observations; or you used the code different from the code you published in your question.

In your code pasted above, you have named your function "showmyTable()" but when you are using it in the html part it is "ShowmyTable()".
Try the below code

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowmyTable() //Change the name of the function from showmyTable() to ShowmyTable()
{
	document.getElementById("tabinfHide").style.display = "block";
	document.getElementById("PackageExpandAnchor").style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById("PackageHideAnchor").style.display = "block";
}
function HideTable(){
	document.getElementById("tabinfHide").style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById("PackageHideAnchor").style.display = "none";
	document.getElementById("PackageExpandAnchor").style.display = "block";
}
</script>

HTML

<table id="tabinf">
<tr>
	<td class="tdSpecialtitle" colspan="2">PACKAGE FOLDERS :</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="tdinfError" colspan="2">NOTE : The Below folders are present in the folder: %ProgramData%\AppV\3E2E9B5B-8E7B-4665-A544-D47C8CB76EA8\E8806E62-BFF8-4AA9-B656-B4DFAB6233B2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="tdinfError" colspan="2">NOTE : Folders under VFS and Scripts folder are listed in bold Purple Other folders are displayed in blue</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="tdinfStitle" colspan="2"><div id="PackageExpandAnchor" önclick="ShowmyTable();" style="display:none">+ Expand Folders</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="tdinfStitle" colspan="2"><div id="PackageHideAnchor" önclick="HideTable();">- Collapse Folders</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table id="tabinfHide">
<tr>
	<td class="tdinfLWarning">Folder 1 :</td>
	<td class="tdinfWarning"> Root\VFS\Profile\geoSCOUT\Templates\frameWORKs</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hope it helps
