To find the clicked anchor, use something like
$("a.closed").click(function() {
var a = $(this);
var aEl = a[0];
})
To find all the content after the anchor until the next h3 or h4, use this
nextUntil function, written by John Resig:
http://docs.jquery.com/JQuery_1.2_Roadmap#.nextUntil.28.29_.2F_.prevUntil.28.29
Here are two examples:
