handbookPop is not defined because you are sending an undefined value


to your function setStyle function.  Change it to the following


accordingly:



setStyle("handbookPop", "display", "none");


setStyle("handbookPop", "display", "");



handbookPop should be a string.

Javascript pseudo-protocol is a very bad practice.  Try searching the


groups here, and you'll get many reasons as to why it is so.
