Thanks for that tip. It works great.

Do you know if there is an easy way to set my link to *toggle* the display?
Right now I have a link that shows the form, but to close it I had to make a
separate button on the form. I'd prefer that someone could click on the
link to open it, and then click again to close it.

This is my link:
<a href="javascript://" onClick="showform('commentform')">
