Hidden property of a button in HTML

It also works without jQuery if you do the following changes:

  1. Add type="button" to the edit button in order not to trigger submission of the form.

  2. Change the name of your function from change() to anything else.

  3. Don't use hidden="hidden", use CSS instead: style="display: none;".

The following code works for me:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="dba_style/buttons.css" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function do_change(){
document.getElementById("save").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("change").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("cancel").style.display = "block";
}
</script>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<div class="buttons">

<button type="button" class="regular" name="edit" id="edit" onclick="do_change(); return false;">
    <img src="dba_images/textfield_key.png" alt=""/>
    Edit
</button>

<button type="submit" class="positive" name="save" id="save" style="display:none;">
    <img src="dba_images/apply2.png" alt=""/>
    Save
</button>

<button class="regular" name="change" id="change" style="display:none;">
    <img src="dba_images/textfield_key.png" alt=""/>
    change
</button>

    <button class="negative" name="cancel" id="cancel" style="display:none;">
        <img src="dba_images/cross.png" alt=""/>
        Cancel
    </button>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>


<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>

function showButtons () { $('#b1, #b2, #b3').show(); }

</script>
<style type="text/css">
#b1, #b2, #b3 {
display: none;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>

<a href="#" onclick="showButtons();">Show me the money!</a>

<input type="submit" id="b1" value="B1" />
<input type="submit" id="b2" value="B2"/>
<input type="submit" id="b3" value="B3" />

</body>
</html>
