Does RJS inherently support the Element.toggle effect? I haven’t been  
able to call it the way you call “appear”, “fade”, etc…

Yes, you should be able to do:

page.toggle ‘element’

Thanks Joe! Whether here or on the support forum, you’ve always got an  
answer 🙂

I was trying “page.visual\_effect :toggle”, instead of the right syntax.

Thanks, Cody! That’s even nicer. I’m looking forward to your book on  
RJS by the way 🙂

You can also use a visual effect for more stylish toggling. The three  
toggle effects are :toggle\_appear, :toggle\_slide and :toggle\_blind

page.visual\_effect :toggle\_appear, ‘element’
