<p>I have this java code:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
google.load("jquery", "1.2.6");

$("a#more").click(function() {

$("#info_box").show("blind", { direction: "vertical" }, 800);

});
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>And this link:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;a href="#" id="more"&gt;More Info...&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>info_box is just a div with the properties:</p>

<pre><code>width: 30%;
position: absolute;
left: 35%;
top: 250px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 2px solid #000000;
visibility: hidden;
</code></pre>

<p>How can this not be working, been trying to figure it out for 20 minutes.</p>

Are you sure you're calling the right function? According to the docs at
http://docs.jquery.com/Effects/show
the show function takes a speed as the first parameter, and a callback function as the second. Your
```
"blind"
```
and
```
{ direction: "vertical" }
```
are misplaced I think.
Also worth checking there's no conflict with another script e.g. mootools.
