Hide/Show Javascript

Question

Hello,
I have a page with javascript which works in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer.
The functions check to see if an "Other" checkbox is selected. If the box is not selected, then a separate text box should not be shown and vice versa.
Here is the code in the HTML Header and Body Attribute:
function initialMailResp () {
   if ($v('P221_MAIL_RESP_3') != "Other") {
      $x_HideItemRow('P221_MAIL_RESP_COMMENTS');
   } else {
      $x_ShowItemRow('P221_MAIL_RESP_COMMENTS');
function initialCheckAudience () {
   if ($v('P221_AUDIENCE_5') != "Other") {
      $x_HideItemRow('P221_AUD_OTHER');
   } else {
      $x_ShowItemRow('P221_AUD_OTHER');
function initialCheckCommType () {
   if ($v('P221_COMM_TYPE_6') != "Other") {
      $x_HideItemRow('P221_COMM_OTHER');
   } else {
      $x_ShowItemRow('P221_COMM_OTHER');
function initialExpReview () {
   if ($v('P221_RSN_EXP_4') != "Other") {
      $x_HideItemRow('P221_RSN_EXP_DESC');
   } else {
      $x_ShowItemRow('P221_RSN_EXP_DESC');
}Here is the code in the Page HTML Body Attribute:
onload="initialCheckAudience(); onload=initialExpReview();onload=initialMailResp(); onload=initialCheckCommType(); " All are hidden when no "Other" checkboxes are selected in Firefox, but P221_COMM_OTHER and P221_RSN_EXP_DESC are shown in IE.
Does anyone see what is causing the problem?
thansks,

Hi Matt,
You only need to specify onload once:
onload="initialCheckAudience();initialExpReview();initialMailResp();initialCheckCommType();"Then, as long as none of them do a "return false;", all functions will be run
