It's a much better idea to make all the alternatives visible immediately.

That does not explain much. Why don't you post the URL of the current page,
for a starter? Surely you have created a working, tested page before
considering optional presentational nuances, haven't you?

That does not explain much.

You're playing with scripting, aren't you? But you are not explaining what
you are really doing.
