 * Hello, im making a shortcode plugin that adds some tables with some data. I want
   to be able to hide/show the tables easily, so i print this in the shortcode function.
   The problem is, the javascript that should be executed by the href=”javascript:
   switchVisibility(competition87);” is not! Anybody knows what am i doing wrong?
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       function switchVisibility(obj)
       {
         if (obj.style.display == "none")
           obj.style.display = "";
         else
           obj.style.display = "none";
       }</script>
         <a href="javascript: switchVisibility(competition87);">test</a>
         <div id="competition87" style="display:none;">
           some contents
         </div>
       ...
       ```
   
 * ps: the above code is from a post in which ive writen the shortcode
