Tarscher. First off you should download and install Firebug for firefox to help you debug any javascript errors you may be having. http://getfirebug.com/
The problem you are having is because you are calling a non-existent method, value(), on the div element. There is also no RJS method called value: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper/JavaScriptGenerator/GeneratorMethods.html You should probably just use plain ol javascript for this one so you can check the current innerHTML of the div. ie. if ($('show_archive').innerHTML == 'Show archive') { ... } Or you could set some arbitrary attribute on the div and check it ie... <div id='show_archive' expanded='true' %></div> if ($('show_archive').readAttribute('expanded') == 'true') { ... } Cheers. -- Robert Zotter Zapient, LLC Ruby on Rails Development and Consulting http://www.zapient.com http://www.fromjavatoruby.com On Nov 13, 8:56 am, Tarscher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi all, > > I'm trying to toggle the caption of a link between show archive and > hide archive?
