That's much more code! Yes it is, but have a look at the following example:
<a href="#" class="show-entry">Post a new entry</a> --- somewhere else in your app --- <a href="#" class="show-entry">Why don't you post a new entry?</a> $$('a.show-form').each(function(el){ el.addEvent('click', function(e){ e = Event(e).stop(); $('entry-form').toggle(); }); });
