Rails - Jun 2006 - link_to_remote show then hide

Hi,
I have a link_to_remote and it update a div.
After the first click the div is opened with the information.
Now I want to be able to close hide the div .
How should I do it.
Someone at the IRC told me to use toggle.
But what I want is a bit odd. I want that it will not do again
link_to_remote but toggle.

Tnx
Kfir

Instead of link_to_remote you could use remote_function
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper.html#M000420

then put a condition around that:

<a href="#" onclick="if
($(''thing'').style.display == ''none'') {
                     <%= remote_function(:update => "thing",
                     :url => { :action => :update_options },
                     :complete => "new
Effect.BlindDown(''thing'');") %>
                     }
                     else { new Effect.BlindUp(''thing''); }
return
false;">weeee</a>

<div id="thing" style="display:none;"></div>

Haven''t tested that though, but should work-ish.
