You had a few problems. The biggest one was that you were running a script
in the head of the document that referred to elements in the body. When the
document loads, the elements in the body are not loaded when the script
runs. I moved the "on load" script to a position below the element it
references.
Read the code to see the other errors I corrected.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>otherpage</title>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var vis = qsobj(0)
var param = 'div1';
function qsobj(parm)
{
var qpairs = document.location.search.substring(1).split("&")
var qvbl = qpairs[parm].split("=");
return qvbl[1] == "yes" ? unescape(qvbl[1].replace(/%20|\+/g," ")) : null
}
function disappear(param)
{
document.getElementById(param).style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
function reappear()
{
document.getElementById(param).style.visibility = 'visible';
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body>
Hello
<div style="position: absolute; width: 100px; height: 34px; z-index: 1;
left: 11px; top: 60px; visibility:hidden" id="div1">
Hidden layer</div>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
if (vis == 'yes') reappear('div1');
else disappear('div1');
// --></script>
</body>
</html>
