</div>

I’m probably missing the obvious clues, but i’m stumped. the script is  
not  
firing, so the div is still visible. this is the first time i’ve used a  
script since i’m still classified as a noob

\<%= check\_box\_tag ‘accept\_reg’, :onclick =\> “if  
($(‘accept\_reg’).checked) {  
$(‘submit\_div’).show()}” %\>

thank you,  
Jason
