This illustrates why it is better to write just <script>, unless company 
police forces you to conform to formal specs that make the type 
attribute required (for no good reason).

This depends on the browser. That's why it is better to store the 
current state encoded in a known way, rather than rely on what the 
browser gets out of an attribute like bgColor="white".

I have no idea of what "toogle" means. But "toggle" means switching 
between _two_ states. This might be important to the OP who appears to 
have some homework on an introductory course on fundamentals of elements 
of basics of JavaScript programming (taught the wrong way as usual and 
probably carrying a hyperbolic name). (People who have serious problems 
usually post a URL.)
