Expandable html

Hi -
I'm looking to code some javascript that has an event handler tied to
an image ("a down arrow") that will expand code that was hidden on the
page load. It's pretty simple, I have an accessories html table that I
want to load in the html but hide to save page real estate until you
click the "down arrow" image. I know I've seen stuff like this before,
can anyone point me to an example of this or give me an idea of how to
code it?

Thanks, Doug

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
Such a character set declaration is unnecessary in XHTML (especially
when it is "utf-8") since an XML parser will ignore that; the character
encoding used is to be specified in a XML processing instruction.
However, even this is only necessary if that encoding differs from UTF-8:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#strict>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_9>
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<style type="text/css">
<!--

span.expandLink {
font-size: 70%;
color: #333; }

span.expandLink a {
color: #333; }

-->
</style>
Since this so far Valid Strict XHTML 1.0, it is likely that you somewhat
disable the `style' element by commenting out its content. An XML
parser is allowed to remove comments before building the parse tree:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-comments>

Furthermore, the `style' element is not supposed to work anyway here; in
XML applications, the stylesheet has to be linked to the document using
an XML processing instruction:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_13>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggleSub(submenu) {
if (document.getElementById(submenu).style.display == 'none') {
This kind of referencing is known to be error-prone; features
(non-backwards compatible objects and their properties) should
be tested for prior to usage.
[...]
<li>
<a href="#">Vegetables</a> <span class="expandLink">(<a href="#"
onclick="toggleSub('vegMore'); return false">toggle</a>)</span>
This menu is not going to work without client-side scripting, if that,
although that would have been possible if created by a competent author.
