A good SEO friendly example can be seen on <a href="http://nocart.com/" rel="nofollow">No Cart</a>, where additional elements of the form are only seen when clicking "Advanced" If you look closely, you will see the elements are not hidden until after the page is loaded. This way, when JavaScript is disabled (or if the visitor is a search engine), they are still visible and you are not penalized for hiding content.
