However, you can also choose to have them displayed in their collapsed state if you want to do this. eBooks Windows Exe and iBooks®/ePub eBooks do not support JavaScript and so all text toggles are displayed as static text and in their expanded state. Image toggles will display the target version of the toggle image in a separate page when the user clicks on it.
