A javascript function is unable, for an unknown reason, to react with an element
on the page.  A simple check in the Javascript console shows the following:

Error: vanisher is not defined
Source File: javascript:dispHandle(vanisher)
Line: 1

This is odd, however, since the element vanisher exists, as does the function
itself.  Also, this script works on many other pages using this exact same code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.politicalanalyst.net/wordpress/
2. Click on 'Hide Show' on the right hand side of the page, under Search
3. Open http://www.politicalanalyst.net/wordpress/hidetest.html
4. Click on the 'Hide Show' link.

Actual Results:  
In the first result, the text does not hide.  In the second result, the text
disappears.

Expected Results:  
Both results should disappear, as they use identical code.
