I would recommend a button, and not a text link for 3 reasons:
1- you are modifying the display of the current page
2- the default and normal action of a link is to load a new page, a new
resource into the current window. So, if javascript support is disabled,
then such default, normal and basic purpose/functionality of a link
should be preserved.
3- semantically speaking, your page requirements point to a command
button, not a text link.

Martin, that's easy to do. I'll ask you to include a credits note for my
contribution in the webpage and in the source code. Is that fair enough?
Do you agree?
