Maybe this will help you to accomplish the flip flop part of your situation

<script type="text/javascript">
function flipflop(element){
var foo;
foo = document.getElementById(element);
if(foo.style.display != 'block')
{
foo.style.display = 'block';
}
else
{
foo.style.display = 'none';
}
}
</script>

now you can simply:
<a onclick="flipflop('SOME_ELEMENT');">Flip Flop some thing</a>

if this isn't what you need or if you can't apply the nextSibling thing on
the above function, then please tell...
