Ah right, I see what you're getting at. Your original idea should have worked fine then - dunno why it didn't work for you.
I copied your page and did a quick test. It seems to work ok: http://lazydragon.dreamhosters.com/test.html BTW, if you use the toggle function rather than show/hide, you can use just one onclick function. e.g. change the link id's to class="slick-toggle" then change the javascript to: $(document).ready(function() { $(".slick-toggle").click( function() { $("#slickbox").toggle(); }); }); BTW(2), there's a really neat ScrollToAnchor function available in the Interface plugins for jQuery. http://interface.eyecon.ro/docs/fx Bruce-32 wrote: > > Umm, > thanks for answering!
