        document.getElementById('EditDIV').style.display='none';
 document.getElementById('mainEditor').style.display='none';
     
       
} else {
        document.getElementById('requirements').options[document.getElementById('requirements').selectedIndex].text = document.getElementById('EditDIV').value;
  //    document.getElementById('EditDIV').value='';
      document.getElementById('EditDIV').style.display='none';
        document.getElementById('mainEditor').style.display='none';
     
        }
            <cfif (isDefined("form.EditDIV") and isDefined("form.prereq2") and isDefined("form.hidden"))>
     <cfdump var="#form#">
   

     <cfparam name="form.EditDIV" default="">
        <cfparam name="form.prereq2" default="">
        <cfparam name="form.hidden" default="">
        <cfparam name="requirements" default="">
