Yeah, I noticed this when I was testing the ShowHide recipe back in 
March and noted the following workarounds:

"Naming a div id. Watch out for Uppercase characters. If your first 
character is uppercase, then all the rest must be in lowercase (Abc). 
Additional capitals (ABc and AbC) will cause the markup to fail. If your 
first character is lowercase, however, then you can have multiple 
uppercase characters (aBC). --Pico"
