Hi,

I've got the following code in my attempt to provide the subject
functionality, lines 20-29 in view:

<%= image_tag "DownArrow.jpg" options =
{ onclick=page["vendor_droplist"].show } %>
<br>
<div name="vendor_droplist">
<%= select_tag "test",
options_for_select(@current_vendors.collect { |v|
v.nickname }),
{:multiple => true} %>
</div>

Until I put in the options on image tag and added the div, this code
display a list of vendor nicknames. Now I have several problems:

1. Syntax error in line 20 where an identifier was encountered where a
right-paren was expected (see below)
2. I don't know how to make the vendor_droplist initially hidden

I've Googled for "Rails Ajax toggled item" and got a number of hits
but no apparent answer. I'll keep poking around the Web, but I
appreciate some suggestion(s).

Thanks in advance,
Richard
