Rails spinoffs - Jul 2006 - How to know is an Element is BlindDown

I want to BlindDown an element only if it is not is,
if I just use BlindDown if the element is down, it will Up and after 
blinddown, but I don''t want that the element ToogleUP if it is down

Please clarify or give an example of what you _don''t_ want.

I think you are asking if there''s a way to only BlindDown if the object
isn''t already down.
The problem being that if you use Effect.BlindDown on an element which is
already down, it disappears, then blinds back down.

If so, the state of your elements should be managed by you.
If you have one element which is never removed or replaced, and you want it to
blind up and down based on a single click event, your event should track the
state of the element itself.

It''s up to you to manage the state of your elements.

This will work if your element starts out as "display:none".

if( Element.visible(''some_div'') ) {
  Element.BlindUp(''some_div'');
} else {
  Element.BlindDown(''some_div'');
}

""I think you are asking if there''s a way to only BlindDown

yes is it.

My Exemple:
	I have one div to store a form
	I use this form to create new registers or update.
	
	when the user click in the new button, I use Effect.toggle to show the element
	when the user click to update some register I want that the div that I used to
store the form blidnDown only if it is not down,

got it?

don''t know how to know if it is down or not.
