Thanks for the help, Alex.  What about when you don't know what index you're accessing?  So each row will have a button to do something in javascript with its div and that button will need to be created with each repeat.

So on the third repeat, something like
<xf:repeat>
        .
        .
        .
        <tr>
                <div id="div(dot)3"> //so the (dot)3 will automatically be created as the repeater repeats.
                        {stuff}
                </div>
                <button onclick="toggleSection(????)"/>  
        </tr>
</xf:repeat>

How can I access that "3" to put in my JS toggleSection function?  Using document.getElementById('div'+XFORMS_SEPARATOR_1+index('project-repeat'))) does not work as it does not recognize the "index('project-repeat')".

You can just keep your div as is, and each iteration will automatically have the id you specified followed by a separator, followed by the index of the iteration (starting with 1). The separator is a special character, and I recommend you use XFORMS_SEPARATOR_1. So in JavaScript to access fourth iteration, you'd
write: "div_3" + XFORMS_SEPARATOR_1 + "4".
