[Chameleon] HTML Legend with Javascript

[Robin Brown]

Thanks Paul.  I wasn't sure if it was even possible.  Now that I know it is, is there
anyone out there that has done this?  I am very new to Javascript (just did a tutorial
last week).  I got the divisions in but I'm not sure how to make them expand/collapse
when they are clicked on. I tried to write a script in the template but that seems to
throw an error. Any  examples or suggestions are welcome.  Thanks again.
