I don't use Prototype, but if you're also interested in a jQuery (or Mootools) solution, I can post one.

Hi North,
JQuery would be fine as well....

This question has been languishing unresponded to for some time now, so I've crafted together some jQuery code to achieve what you require.
For each element with a class of "toggle", the code adds a Show/Hide link just below it.
The link toggles the element by its id attribute, and switches between Show and Hide when you click it.
$(function () {
$('.toggle')
.each(function () {
$('<a href="#' + $(this).attr('id') + '">Show</a>')
.click(function () {
$($(this).attr('href'))
.toggle();
$(this).text(
$(this).text() !== 'Show' ? 'Show' : 'Hide'
);
})
.wrap('<p></p>')
.insertAfter(this);
})
.hide();
});
.
.
.
<p id="content" class="toggle">Paragraph to be toggled</p>
Hi Everyone,
I've got this small piece of code that basically toggles a element but changes the hyperlink's name as well.
In this case if I would click on the "Show" button, it will display the content div, but it will also change the text from "Show" to "Hide".
Now it all works fine, but I think it looks ugly. I'm not really proficient with javascript, but I'm looking for a better (Unobtrusive) way to do this in prototype.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Greets,
