Clickable expanding/contracting text area

[Karen_Little]

I'd like to add clickable expanding/contracting text areas to my pages, as in the default is showing the short description, and clicking shows the long one.

Is there any tag in ColdFusion that facilitates that? (I'm a bit rusty on my coding skills, as you can tell . . .)

You would have to use javascript.

Thanks, Dan - I found these sites to supply the needed javascript. I'm not going to drive my application with a database, but I can invision it being done in CF pretty easily:
