I thought that was expected behaviour? If you hide the outer, then you
can't toggle the inner: it's hidden so it doesn't have any "space".
Likeeee, if you tried to get the height of the inner element, it would
be 0 once you hide its container:
alert($("#inner").height()); // is 19
$("#outer").toggle(); // hide outer
alert($("#inner").height()); // is 0 ('cause its hidden!)
$("#inner").toggle(); // hide inner, within outer
alert($("#inner").height()); // is still 0 ('cause its still hidden!)That's the same if you try and do it in straight JavaScript too (and that's why you have to rip hidden elements out of the DOM and clone them if you need to get their height... i think!)
