I would like something in HTML that does this function,

Click the 'Switch it now button' to see what i mean.

Basically it Collapses a paragraph but when u click the un-collapse link it comes up again.

No, not a challenge at all. In fact I've used this tutorial before. However, just for a heads-up, this script does use JavaScript. Or is this a different project?

I just used this but I was wondering if theres a way to make it so that when the page loads it closed but when you click it, it opens.

You can do that. Just put inside the <div>:

 style="display: none;"

And that should work.

What you should do is close the object on load using script, that way javascript disable UAs will always see the content.

Not possible in HTML. HTML is NOT a scripting language.

Yes, you can't do everything in html, html tags are not good for most any "effects" unless you are talking about color or size. Java and Ajax are the way to go as far as moving objects and shading effects.

<p style="color:#000000;font-size:14pt;">Hello World!</p>

HTML tags suck for color and size, thats why they are being replaced with css commands.

If you want the code to collapse text like seen here 8359.org I can send you the zipped script for it and you can just change what you need on it. Just pm me if you are interested.

that was cool! i learned something from here huh.
