    I don't have an article to which to point you, but basically you should
use the CSS display property, toggling its value on a row in order to
display or hide it. Apply "display: none" to a tr in order to hide it, and
"display: block" in order to show it. Actually, I'm a fan of using different
classes: one class for the tr when its showing, and one for when its not,
and changing the value of the tr's className property.
    This will work in IE 5+; not sure about IE 4. Should work in Netscape
6.x, but will not work in Netscape 4.x (which doesn't support dynamic use of
the display property).
