Event of Click for annotation, ID# b_cpitSeal01 = set display style of page element ID# pDisplay to Block does not work.

Shouldn’t it?

This does not create errors in the console.

The code works perfectly on the page itself.
```
               function showPD() {
  var x = document.getElementById("pDisplay");
x.style.display = "inline-block";
}
```
How do I get an annotation click event to show the hidden div on my page?

Hi jefferywright,

can it be that the event listeners are assigned to the annotations before they are created?

That is true if I create the event listeners on the page, which explains why that doesn’t work.

So using puzzles appears to be the solution. Why don’t the puzzles in my example do the trick? Shouldn’t that work?

I now placed the functions inside the function that makes the annotations appear, so that means the event listener is applied only when the annotations exist, this still produces no success and no console error.

Got it sorted, instead of visibility in my last example, I specified the display attribute, and this does cause the pdisplay div on my page to appear… hopefully anyone else trying to do something similar will find this post helpful, thanks.
