Well, randomly things just don’t work when I try to make a new web  
thing work. On my new site, I have a div id=“all” set to display:  
none;, that should be shown when I click on this div: \<%= content\_tag  
‘div’, ‘Alternate View’, :onclick =\>  
visual\_effect(:toggle\_blind, ‘all’) %\>

But clicking on that div does absolutely nothing. Any ideas? This  
happens on a lot of my rails websites. And sometimes it’s completely  
random. Like toggle\_blind might work, but toggle\_slide won’t, or vice  
versa. Thanks in advance, the site is:

Bigger problems than that right now, I think 🙂

Sure it does; it makes Firebug display this error:

Effect.Queues.get(typeof this.options.queue == “string” ? “global” :  
this.options.queue.scope).add is not a function  
[Break on this error] ‘global’ : this.options.queue.scope).add(this);

If you’re not using Firebug, this is probably a good time to start 🙂
