Rails - Nov 2005 - Ajax Effect problem

hey,

i want to have an effect on my search that the user can fold it open and close
it again


<a href="#" class="show_link"
onClick="show_search_area();"
id="search_area_open_url" >Open</a>
<a href="#" class="noshow_link"
onClick="hide_search_area();"
id="search_area_close_url" >Close</a>

.show_link {
	visibility: visible;
}
.noshow_link {
	visibility: hidden;
	display: none;
}

function show_search_area() {	
	changeSty(''search_area_table'',''show_link'');
	changeSty(''search_area_open_url'',''noshow_link'');
	new Effect.SlideDown(''search_area_table''); 
	changeSty(''search_area_table'',''show_link'');
	changeSty(''search_area_close_url'',''show_link'');
}

function hide_search_area() {
	changeSty(''search_area_close_url'',''noshow_link'');
	new Effect.SlideUp(''search_area_table''); 
	changeSty(''search_area_open_url'',''show_link'');
}

in firefox it works perfect, but in IE i get an error:
this action is not supported by this object.

any can help me?

according to script.aculo.us docs, the area has to be in 2
cascaded-block elements... is this the case for you? (e.g. <div
id="slide_me"><div>content</div></div>)

which kind of element is your "search_area_table"? (if i assume that
it
is a table: maybe ie doesn''t treat it as an ordinary block element, is
that possible, anyone?)

regards,

t
