I have two jQuery books and scant coverage of $(this) between them. I need to know if $(this) has parents, children and siblings, and if so how to access them. Here's why...
I have a page with six one-line forms on it. I put the forms in divs and hide the divs on page load based on the class of the divs. Each div has an immediate sibling <a> that will toggle the form on a click. It works great if I write a separate function for each div, but I want to combine them into one function, bind that function to all of the <a> by ID and use $(this) to know which is which when the event fires. No problem, except that I need to fire the event on the next sibling, not on the element I get with $(this). I've tried using the + sign in several ways, but nothing has worked so far. How do I select the parent, child or sibling of $(this)?
