&lt;b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType != “item”‘&gt;
&lt;script type=”text/javascript”&gt;

var fade = false;
function showFull(id) {
var post = document.getElementById(id);
var spans = post.getElementsByTagName(’span’);
for (var i = 0; i &amp;lt; 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 &amp;lt; spans.length; i++) {
if (spans[i].id == “fullpost”) {
if (fade) {
spans[i].style.background = peekaboo_bgcolor;
Effect.Fade(spans[i]);

post.scrollIntoView(true);

var found = 0;
for (var i = 0; i &amp;lt; spans.length; i++) {
if (spans[i].id == “fullpost”) {
spans[i].style.display = ‘none’;
found = 1;

if ((spans[i].id == “showlink”) &amp;amp;&amp;amp; (found == 0))
spans[i].style.display = ‘none’;

&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/b:if&gt;
</pre>
