Question : Rails: Visual Effect 'Blind' Toggle Help

I am using a :toggle_blind function on a DIV block as part of the return in an AJAX call.  If the user does the right thing then I want the DIV to slide away.  I get that to work fine.  What I am wondering is if there is, rather than a toggle, a "blind_down" where if the DIV is already down it will not try to do it again.  Calling a toggle just toggles the state.  I am looking for something like "If it is down, do nothing; if it is up, bring the blind down."

Thanks,
Grant

You can specify the individual events instead of a toggle.
Here's the list of effects:

You could always just hide the link if the div is already down, too, if you don't want them to un-hide it.

visual_effect(:the_div, :appear) visual_effect(:my_div, :blind_down)
