I’m unable to show/hide divs. It gives me error cannot read property style from null.

Any help would be appreciated.

function HideAllShowOne(d) {
  // Between the quotation marks, list the id values of each div.

  var IDvaluesOfEachDiv = "w11 W12 W21 w31";

  //-------------------------------------------------------------
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/[,s"']/g, " ");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/^s*/, "");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/s*$/, "");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/  +/g, " ");
  var IDlist = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.split(" ");
  for (var i = 0; i < IDlist.length; i++) {
    HideContent(IDlist[i]);
  }
  ShowContent(d);
}


function HideContent(d) {
  document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none";
}

function ShowContent(d) {
  document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block";
}

function ReverseDisplay(d) {
  if (document.getElementById(d).style.display == "none") {
    document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block";
  } else {
    document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none";
  }
}

Finally did it thanks to your help guys :)

   <script type='text/javascript'>
    var ids = $.map($('#ved_dat div'), function(n,i) {
                  return n.id
              });

        function show_hide(d){

          for (i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) { 
              if(ids[i]!=d){
                document.getElementById(ids[i]).style.display='none';
              }
          }
         document.getElementById(d).style.display='block';

        }

      </script>

(Edit)

You are having many silly mistakes in your code

Remove extra white space before the parameter of all function call

eg : <a href=javascript:HideAllShowOne( 'w11')>Back propagation Algorithm</a>

Corrected code :

<a href=javascript:HideAllShowOne('w11')>Back propagation Algorithm</a>

All your div ids have Lower-case w.

And two of your w in var IDvaluesOfEachDiv = "w11 W12 W21 w31" are Upper-case, W12 and W21

Note : ids are case-sensitive

Remove double href= on Week 2 and Week 3 sub li
You should not provide # before the id in divs

EDIT : Provided a working snippet below

function HideAllShowOne(d) {
  // Between the quotation marks, list the id values of each div.

  var IDvaluesOfEachDiv = "w11 w12 w21 w31";

  //-------------------------------------------------------------
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/[,s"']/g, " ");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/^s*/, "");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/s*$/, "");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/  +/g, " ");
  var IDlist = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.split(" ");
  for (var i = 0; i < IDlist.length; i++) {
    HideContent(IDlist[i]);
  }
  ShowContent(d);
}


function HideContent(d) {
  document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none";
}

function ShowContent(d) {
  document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block";
}

function ReverseDisplay(d) {
  if (document.getElementById(d).style.display == "none") {
    document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block";
  } else {
    document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none";
  }

In addition to @Munawir’s answer, in <div id='#w11' style='display:none;'> element id is #w11 and not w11. Remove # from id.

function HideAllShowOne(d) {
  // Between the quotation marks, list the id values of each div.

  var IDvaluesOfEachDiv = "w11 W12 W21 w31";

  //-------------------------------------------------------------
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/[,s"']/g, " ");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/^s*/, "");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/s*$/, "");
  IDvaluesOfEachDiv = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.replace(/  +/g, " ");
  console.log(IDvaluesOfEachDiv)
  var IDlist = IDvaluesOfEachDiv.split(" ");
  for (var i = 0; i < IDlist.length; i++) {
    HideContent(IDlist[i].toLowerCase());
  }
  ShowContent(d);
}


function HideContent(d) {
  console.log(document.getElementById(d),d)
  document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none";
}

function ShowContent(d) {
  document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block";
}

function ReverseDisplay(d) {
  if (document.getElementById(d).style.display == "none") {
    document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block";
  } else {
    document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none";
