Thanks Klaus,
I got another answer elsewhere (apologies for doubling up the
request).
Here's the answer I got from the other forum which is similar to your,
but I found it more in tune with my scripting style:
$('#clickedItems a').click(function() {
// figure out what position this element is in
var n = $('#clickedItems a').index($(this) );
// update the targetedArea
$('#targetedArea li:eq('+n+')').html('updated!');
return false;
});
