Hi, Steve: replace the inline onmouseover and onclick with Event.observe to start.
Your getDescription([field:'id'] square brackets should be surrounded in quotes
i.e.
getDescription('[field:'id']')

Hello list. I am a newbie with prototype, scriptaculous and with JS.Right now, I have a successful ajax call that appears in my div (thedescription) when I mouse over the link, and disappears when I click on the link. What I would like to have happen is to combine this with an effect (ie, onclick="new Effect.toggle($ ('thedescription'),'blind')">) so that the user has to click on the link to show the description, and then click on it again to hide the description. I just can't get it to work by combining the ajax and the effect...Thanks for your help.function getDescription(news_id) { var url = '/admin/site_admin/news_popup.lasso?news_id=' + news_id;var myDiv = new Ajax.Updater('thedescription', url, {asynchronous:true});} <span class="shownames" id = "show"><a href="#" title="" onmouseover="getDescription([field:'id'])" onclick="CloseDescription();return false;">[field:'title']</a></span> <div id="thedescription"></div> -- Steven Q.
