You don't need script tags when using the application.js file. It is already in a .js file. Script tags would be used if you were embedding the script within some html.

You also don't need html tags in a .js file...

The application.js is called from HTML else ware, and is automatically loaded in your app.

So, simply put your code in the application.js file:

function toggle_visibility(id) {
var e = document.getElementById(id);
if(e.style.display == 'block')
e.style.display = 'none';
else
e.style.display = 'block';
}

The code you've posted at the top is written as if it is contained within a HTML page and not a JS file. This is moving more into the boundaries of a site like stackoverflow or something similar for javascript troubles. If this relates to the other post about making modules visible or not then make sure you've understood what has been pasted.
