Yes, you can do that with help of javascript (even jscript works, but then you
lock out a good number of users)

--- javascript ---
function showdiv(id)
{
el = document.getElementById(id);
if (el.style.display == 'none') {
el.style.display = '';
el = document.getElementById('_' + id);
} else {
el.style.display = 'none';
el = document.getElementById('_' + id);
}
return false;
}
--- eof ---

--- the div ---
<div id="divID">Something here!</div>
--- eof ---

--- the link ---
<a href="" title="The Link" onclick="javascript:showdiv('divID');return
false;">The Link to show or hide div named divID</a>
--- eof ---

Should work on all javascript supporting browsers.
