With firebug I found that clicking on the link calls javascript function

<a href="#" onclick="viewHide(this);return false;">

But I couldn't find it's implementation in page source.
Is it possible to get it?

The site is in hebrew, but I don't think it's problem :link text to trigger for this function click on any comments title that follow the article.

Just write in console: 

viewHide.toString()

You will get a source code of function as a text.
