Update: I figured it out. I was loading the .js file twice. 




In the view:

<%= link_to "Toggle comment", "#", :id => "toggle-comment" %>
<p id="comment" style="display:none;">Comment: <%= @scratchpad.comment %></p>


In the .js file:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#toggle-comment").click(function() {
    $("#comment").toggle('slow');
  });
});


Result: clicking on the "hide-comment" link fires off two toggle events, so the
"comment" element goes back to its original state. (I can tell because 'slow'
makes it very visible what's happening.) I can't figure out why this is happening.
