I see what he is saying now. When you assign a click event with the
Event.observe it does not allow you to call it with the
$(''xxx'').onclick(); command as it''s looking for the
onclick tag in the a
tag.
I''m stumped on a way to get this to work.

Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] Error: "onclick() is not a function"
So I tried the "onclick()" suggestion and an error was thrown that
reported:
Error: $("toggle_1901").onclick is not a function
window.onload($("toggle_1901").onclick());
is the code and there is an <a href></a> that has
"toggle_1901" as
the id.
Have you guys tried to trigger an even this way before?
