Thanks for your response! I'm not worried about the size of the hidden elements, and I don't expect toggle to display them (since they are hidden by a parent container, anyway), this is more an issue of what will happen when they are finally displayed (because their parent is no longer hidden).
http://www.intrepidengineer.com/toggle-behavior-2.html I've posted another example that demonstrates this issue again, using toggle() here, which seems like the simplest approach, doesn't work right, because the buttons get out of sync. If I wrote this myself just using style.display, it wouldn't get out of sync. Perhaps this is a better demonstration of what I would expect to work versus the last example.
