Wow fast responses to this group, I am impressed. Thanks.
Brandon: Yes I used your second suggestion. The full line binds a
click event to hide/show a span
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').click(function() { $
('#spnShowHideDemo').toggle(); });
Karl: Yes you may correct about the size of the DOM being a concern.
Unforturnetly most of the page is a Usercontrol, which brings me back
to the same problem if I were to try to find a container first.
Hopefully it will not be too slow to be an issue.
