Re: [fw-mvc] [Zend_Form] howto: multiCheckbox with collapsible lower elements‏

I thought about the list items at http://datatables.net when I read your mail.

They have the idea: we have a list with x items. They are with too much so we show only y items. The others are hidden. Click on the last entry saying "show more" and this entry removes and the other z items are displayed.

No toggling whatsoever, because youonly click "show more" when you're interested (you want to read the items). Perhaps toggling is more difficult, then a display group or a second element might help indeed.
