here is my code. http://pastemonkey.org/paste/229
for some reason i still cant get this to work. instead of using the
toggle(); function i am manually toggling the elements based on the
resulting string. but how can i select an element based on a variable.
essentially the variable newSpecial is equal to the selector im trying
to select. $(newSpecial) doesn't work, $("newSpecial") doesn't work. i
cant figure it out.
