In summary, I’m trying to hide the text next to an image when the web page loads and then display the text when the user hovers over the corresponding image.
I can’t seem to get it to display the text. Here’s the code:
<section class = muliticolumn > <img class="menuSmall" src="../images/margherita.png" onmouseover="showMargTopp()"> <h2>Margherita</h2> <p id="margTopp">Tomato, mozzarella and basil</p> </section>
This is the code for the image and text.
#margTopp{display:none;}
CSS.
function showMargTopp() { document.getElementByID("margTopp").style.display="block"; }
JavaScript.
I’ve tried a couple different things but I can’t seem to get it to work. Thanks for any help.

Answer
ID should be Id in your function.
function showMargTopp() { document.getElementById("margTopp").style.display="block"; }
If you want it to be hidden again when you stop hovering, you will need another function for the onmouseout
event.
function hideMargTopp() { document.getElementById("margTopp").style.display="none"; }
A simpler solution to this would be to use CSS :hover
