I have my divs fading and appearing… BUT!! they all fade the first  
time even if they are checked… guess that is because im using  
toggle…

\<%= f.check\_box :monday, :onclick =\> visual\_effect(:toggle\_appear,  
‘mondaydiv’) %\>

so I would guess that I have to write some RJS to fade all the div’s  
if the associated checkboxs is unchecked when the page first loads.

anyone either point me to a doc that explains this or tell me a better  
way of doing this!!

thanks!!

Or you could just hide the divs that should be hidden by specifying  
style=‘display:none’ on them…

No, I’m guessnig your form’s checkboxes are checked/uncheked depending  
on a  
boolean variable somewhere. So use this variable to determine the  
visible/invisible state of your divs.
