  I would like to use events like onmouseover or onclick for showing / hiding a div (style=”display:block” and style=”display:none”)
  Is it possible to add javascripts like this?
  <div onmouseover=”document.getElementById(‘mydiv’).style.display=’none'”>Mouse here</div>
  <div id=”mydiv”>Lore Ipsum</div>

  Sorry javascript is not allowed here due to security concerns. Neither is flash, forms or iframes.

  It’s for the security of the server or for the security of the readers? Or it’s (also for) not allowing users to add advertisments?

  It’s for security of the server and consequently WordPress.COM users. Check out this FAQ http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/javascript-can-i-use-that-on-my-blog/

  I want a show/hide tag also, but I think you have to have a self-hosted blog in order to use it.

  lifescape – we do not use plugins here at wordpress.COM so your solution would not work.
