style.display = "table-row" - IE6 error

Hello,

This does not work with IE6 (it gives an error)
         new_value = "table-row";
         document.getElementById("pageHeader").style.display = new_value;

And looks very poorly formated in FF:
         new_value = "block";
         document.getElementById("pageHeader").style.display = new_value;

         
Any ideas?

An empty string may not work if "none" is set for display property in a CSS style sheet.

Setting display to "" will reset only element's inline style display value. If some CSS rule applies to the element, then resetting the inline value will enable that CSS rule. If it was defined so that the element is not to be displayed, then switching between 'none' and '' will give no result (the element will remain hidden).
