Hide a Box on Click

I want to do this for my GallerySoftware theme, to make EXIF and IptcSpecification take up less space unless someone wants to see it. The below code is stolen from WikiPedia.

<!-- showhide.js -->
function showTocToggle(show,hide) {
        if(document.getElementById) {
                document.writeln('<span class=\'toctoggle\'>[<a href="javascript:toggleToc()" class="internal">' +
                '<span id="showlink" style="display:none;">' + show + '</span>' +
                '<span id="hidelink">' + hide + '</span>'
                + '</a>]</span>');
        }
}


function toggleToc() {
        var toc = document.getElementById('tocinside');
        var showlink=document.getElementById('showlink');
        var hidelink=document.getElementById('hidelink');
        if(toc.style.display == 'none') {
                toc.style.display = tocWas;
                hidelink.style.display='';
                showlink.style.display='none';

        } else {
                tocWas = toc.style.display;
                toc.style.display = 'none';
                hidelink.style.display='none';
                showlink.style.display='';

        }
}

<!-- showhide.html -->

<script type="text/javascript" src="showhide.js"></script>
