CSS / Javascript Show / Hide DIV using a CSS class?

Question

I've googled around and found many scripts for hiding and showing DIV contents, as a toggle on button click.

But they are work using ID's.

I would like to do the same thing BUT I want to use a class instead of an id so that if I want to have 20 DIV's that toggle ... Hide / Show I don't have to add extra code.

Here is some code:

<script language="javascript"> 
function toggle() {
    var ele = document.getElementById("toggleText");
    var text = document.getElementById("displayText");
    if(ele.style.display == "block") {
            ele.style.display = "none";
        text.innerHTML = "show";
    }
    else {
        ele.style.display = "block";
        text.innerHTML = "hide";
    }
} 
</script>

<a id="displayText" href="javascript:toggle();">show</a> <== click Here
<div id="toggleText" style="display: none"><h1>peek-a-boo</h1></div>

Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks

Is jquery an option? Hopefully so, because this does what you want:

http://api.jquery.com/toggle/

$(".class").toggle();
or
$(".class").show();  $(".class").hide();
