for (var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++) {
if (spans[i].id == “fullpost”) {
if (fade) {
spans[i].style.background = peekaboo_bgcolor;
Effect.Appear(spans[i]);
} else spans[i].style.display = ‘inline’;
}
if (spans[i].id == “showlink”)
spans[i].style.display = ‘none’;
if (spans[i].id == “hidelink”)
spans[i].style.display = ‘inline’;
}
}

function hideFull(id) {
var post = document.getElementById(id);
var spans = post.getElementsByTagName(’span’);
for (var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++) {

spans[i].style.display = ‘none’;

var found = 0;

spans[i].style.display = ‘none’;
found = 1;
