For anyone who is wondering, "functino" is Italian for "tiny function."
Here's another way to write the code, using only a single event handler (event delegation) instead of individual event handlers on every link. This will be faster if there are a lot of product descriptions. I'd also put an ID on the parent DIV - <div class="products" id="products"> - to make it even faster: $('#products').click( function( event ) { var $target = $(event.target); if( $target.is('a.show-description') ) { $target.parent().next().show(); return false; } }); -Mike > From: Karl Swedberg > > Hi Kris, > > I'd give the "show description" links a common class -- for > example, "show-description" That way you can use a basic > selector to apply to all of those links. > > Then, I'd use the "this" keyword to find the appropriate > description relative to the clicked link. > > Adding "return false" will prevent the link's default event > from being triggered. > > So, given your markup, it might look like this: > > $('a.show-description').click(functino() { > $(this).parent().next().show(); > return false; > }); > > > --Karl > ____________ > Karl Swedberg > www.englishrules.com > www.learningjquery.com > > > > > On Jul 4, 2008, at 10:36 AM, Kris wrote: > > > > > Whats the best way to provide functionality (eg. toggle an > 'additional > > information' div) when dealing with records with unique id's. > > > > For example lets say we are dealing with product records > each one has > > a unique id which is a number, so the HTML might look something like > > this: > > > > <div class="products"> > > <div class="product" id="product_1"> > > <p>Name: Red Widget</p> > > <p>Price: 22.00</p> > > <p><a href="">Show description</a></p> > > <p id="description_1" style="display:none;">sadasdasdasdasd</p> > > </div> > > > > <div class="product" id="product_2"> > > <p>Name: Blue Widget</p> > > <p>Price: 24.00</p> > > <p><a href="">Show description</a></p> > > <p id="description_2" style="display:none;">sadasdasdasdasd</p> > > </div> > > > > etc. etc. > > </div> > > > > I want to place unobtrusive jquery that will allow the 'show > > description' link to display the correct description div... > > > > Many thanks, K. > > > > >
