 * My code is intended to only show the schedule of the day. But the script portion
   fails and all tables always display.
 *     ```
       <!-- wp:table -->
       <div id="monday">
       <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>TODAY'S SCHEDULE</strong><br>[table id=8 /]</p>
       </div>
       <div id="tuesday">
       <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>TODAY'S SCHEDULE</strong><br>[table id=9 /]</p>
       </div>
       <div id="wednesday">
       <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>TODAY'S SCHEDULE</strong><br>[table id=10 /]</p>
       </div>
       <div id="thursday">
       <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>TODAY'S SCHEDULE</strong><br>[table id=11 /]</p>
       </div>
       <div id="friday">
       <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>TODAY'S SCHEDULE</strong><br>[table id=12 /]</p>
       </div>
       <div id="saturday">
       <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>TODAY'S SCHEDULE</strong><br>[table id=13 /]</p>
       </div>
       <div id="sunday">
       <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>TODAY'S SCHEDULE</strong><br>[table id=14 /]</p>
       </div>
       <style>
       .content {
         padding: 0 18px;
         display: none;
         overflow: hidden;
       </style>
       <script>
       const d = new Date();
       let day = d.getUTCDay();
       switch(day) {
           case 0:
             on("sunday")
             break;
           case 1:
             on("monday")
             break;
           case 2:
             on("tuesday")
             break;
           case 3:
             on("wednesday")
             break;
           case 4:
             on("thursday")
             break;
           case 5:
             on("friday")
             break;
           case 6:
             on("saturday")
             break;
         }
       function on(id) {
          document.getElementById(id).style.display = "block"
          if(id != "monday") {document.getElementById("monday").style.display = "none"}
            else if(id != "tuesday") {document.getElementById("tuesday").style.display = "none"}
            else if(id != "wednesday") {document.getElementById("wednesday").style.display = "none"}
            else if(id != "thursday") {document.getElementById("thursday").style.display = "none"}
            else if(id != "friday") {document.getElementById("friday").style.display = "none"}
            else if(id != "saturday") {document.getElementById("saturday").style.display = "none"}
            else if(id != "sunday") {document.getElementById("sunday").style.display = "none"}
       }
       </script>
       <!-- /wp:table -->
       ```

 * You are getting a JS error in your console log. It appears to be how you are 
   declaring the myTimer() function.
 * try changing `myTimer(){` to `function myTimer() {`

 * Thank you, fixed that, then monday was eliminated. Realized the issue after that
   was that the if statement shouldn’t have had “else if” and should just be “if”
   for each case.
