I ran into a rather frustrating problem that I only solved the other day.  It was that I had embedded a stylesheet within the HTML using the style tags.  Inside, I used the ID selector to style a particular div element.  In particular, I used a kind of display: none; thing.

Well, one of the things I needed was to be able to make that part visible again once a person unchecked that element.  Before I was doing something like $(ele).style.display = '';.  Turns out, that the precedence of Javascript is lower than the one in inline style.  So to rectify this, I had to instead do $(ele).style.display = 'block' (or inline).  Pretty annoying but a nice little fix to this problem.
