// This is the constructor function for our new ToggleButton class.
// Calling it creates a ToggleButton object and outputs the required
// <A> and <IMG> tags into the specified document at the current location.  
// Therefore, don't call it for the current document from an event handler.
// Arguments:
//    document - the Document object the buttons will be created in.
//    checked - a boolean that says whether the button is initially checked.
//    label - an optional string that specifies text to appear after the button
//    onclick - an optional function to be called when the toggle button is
//              clicked.  It will be passed a boolean indicating the new
//              state of the button.  You can also pass a string, which will
//              be converted to a function which is passed a boolean argument
//              named "state"
