When I try and hide an html box, the code will remove all the text but part of the actual box remains? Any idea what I'm doing wrong. The page is www.massfarrier.com
Any help would be great.
Thats Because you are not Hiding the Box Completely.You have to find the ID of the BOX and then, have to apply the B:if conditions to hide it.
Hope that helps. Peace
that makes perfect sense, thank you so much for the reply
