Did
you ever wonder how to make a Show/Hide thingy? Press "Show" below
to see one answer.
<div style="display:
none;" id="YourIdShow">
<p>
(<a
href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('YourIdHide').style.display
= 'block'; document.getElementById('YourIdShow').style.display =
'none'; return false;">Show</a> )
</p>
</div>
<div
style="display: block;" id="YourIdHide">
<p>Put
your text here.</p>
<p>
(<a
href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('YourIdShow').style.display
= 'block';document.getElementById('YourIdHide').style.display = 'none';
return false;">Hide</a> )
</p>
</div>
(Hide)

I forgot to say: Replace "YourId" with an ID unique to the page. Something with <$MTEntryID$> will do fine, if you have more than one post on the page.

Also, I had to add spaces in the script before ")" because it was giving me smiley faces.

Now, the interesting thing is that you can do it inside a post. Fun!

It also works better than the method being used for opening/closing comments, at least in my browser (Firefox). When I close comments it moves the whole page up, instead of closing "in place", which I find really annoying.
I don't see any reason why this method can't be used for comments too.

Outstanding!
I don't like the page behavior either, but have gotten used to it by now.
I'll link this post under Useful Thingys in the sidebar.

That's odd. I don't see any reason for it not to work. I'll give it a try sometime next week when I'm less dead.
