The funny thing is, I can't remember the syntax for any of this stuff. I literally go to http://jquery.com/api every time I want a click function.

If jQuery saves you time and money, consider a donation to the project. :) Glen On 8/7/07, dug <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Glen, > > When I started trying to do this with jquery this morning I tried > using toggle but instead got bogged down trying to make is work as > part of an 'animate' hash... > > Your solution works beautifully!
