The Effect I'm Trying to Achieve...

I'm not sure how to describe the effect I'm trying to achieve, so I'll point out a website that has implemented what I'd like to do:

http://isohunt.com/torrents.php?ihq=nature&ext=&op=and

Notice that a 'drop down' menu appears when a title is clicked on.
How is this done? Can PHP accomplish this neat feature?
On my website I have a blog and I want readers to have the option of leaving a comment about a blog entry.
But I don't want all the comments displayed at once. At first, I only want to display the number of comments that exist for a specific blog entry. Then make that number a hyperlink that drops down the comments for that specific blog entry. Make sense?

So basically:

| blah blah blah blah blah |

There are 5 comments available. (clicking the #5 would display the comments)

|comment 1: blah blah blah |

--------------------------
|comment 2: blah blah blah |

--------------------------
|comment 3: blah blah blah |

--------------------------
|comment 4: blah blah blah |

--------------------------
|comment 5: blah blah blah |

Close Comments (this feature would make the comments disappear again)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time,

One idea would be something like.

<?php
$displaycomments = $_POST("com")

if ($displaycomments){
Page with comments goes here.
} else {
Page without comments goes here.
}

In the html create a link that has a method of post and action of submit to self that has a hidden input with the name com and the value 1. By clicking that link it would submit back to the php page the new value which would then display the new page look. If the page was refreshed or such the comments would again be gone.
