Expanding text paragraphs - not sure if this is javascript

[schwarzefee]

I saw this on a site a few years ago, and now that I actually want to use it I can't find it again. I apologize if someone has discussed this here already; as I don't know what the code might be called, I've had a hard time searching for it.

They had it in the FAQ page: there was a list of questions, and when you clicked on one of the questions, the answer to it (paragraphs of text) would appear underneath it. I'm not sure if this is an adequate description or not; can you help?

Here's something I did a while ago:

<a href="javascript:tog('para')">Switch Paragraph</a>
<div id="para" style="display: none">
<p>Text content here...
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
function tog(elem){
el = document.getElementById(elem);

if (el.style.display=="none"){
el.style.display = "block"
} else {
if (el.style.display==""){
el.style.display = "block"
} else{
el.style.display = "none"
}
}
}
</script>


Hope this helps

It wants to open "java script:tog('para')" as a webpage. Or am I doing something wrong?

[AdamGundry]

There shouldn't be a space between the words "java script". But anyway, this version is better:
<a href="#" onclick="tog('para')">

That's exactly what I want... thank you SO much; I love you forever!!

How would you do that to switch between two paragraphs? Make one appear and the other disappear?
