    Hi progfrog,
    Nothing seems to be wrong with your code.
    May be you should include it in a function and call it on button click or onLoad event.
    Also check whether you have closed the div properly.

    Hope this helps.

    Well, if your script executed before the <div> element loaded, it won't work.
    You can try to wrap your code in a function, as Unni krishnan said:
    
<script type="text/javascript">
 function hideDIV() {
  var P = document.getElementById('Funk');
  P.style.display='none';
 }
</script>
    HTML:
    Put this between <head> and </head>. Then call this function after your <div> loaded. :)
