onClientClick not happening

Not sure if I've got the JS wrong or the .net code wrong but....
I have an asp button and I added the property onclientclick, I'm trying to set a DIV to visible when the button is clicked. The page refreshes but the DIV is still hidden any ideas?

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

<asp:Button ID="AddMe" runat="server" Text="Add" OnClientClick="toggle_visibility('NewAbs')" />

<div id="NewAbs" style="visibility: hidden"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" border="1">
some stuff in here
</table>
</div>

ASP.NET

Make sure your javascript is being called like so:

function toggle_visibility(id) {

alert("Hello");

}

if that works, there is another problem

You need to make sure that the button's click event which posts back the page doesn't get fired. Adding return false; to the end of the onclientclick will achieve this:

<asp:Button ID="AddMe" runat="server" Text="Add" OnClientClick="toggle_visibility('NewAbs');return false;" />

"<asp:Button ID="AddMe" runat="server" Text="Add" OnClientClick="toggle_visibility('NewAbs');return false;" />"

Does nothing, no postback/refresh/showing of DIV

"function toggle_visibility(id) {

alert("Hello");}"

this works, so what is wrong with my initial code (in first post)
