ok so i just found this page:
http://www.prototypejs.org/api/element/toggle
but i am still confused:
1) do i need scriptaculous to get toggle functionality or do i get by
just including prototype.js?
2) it says that it will not show divs that were hidden via css?! how
else would i hide a div? if i want the div to be hidden when the page
loads, and then toggled when a link is clicked, how woudl i do that if
i cant set the css for the div to display:none ??
