First of all, in this:
$('ul#list_container a:contains(hidden_div)')
The word 'hidden_div' is just a string literal - ie it's just looking
for the word hidden_div. If you want to look for the text you've
assigned to the _variable_ hidden_div you just need to go:
$('ul#list_container a:contains(' + hidden_div' + )')
That may or may not be the best way of doing it, but I think it is
what you intended to write.
