Thank you for the suggestion however it did not seem to work...

Hi Eric,

I know you were able to get it work by using return false, but for  
future reference, I thought I'd mention that the one above doesn't  
work because preventDefault should be a method, not a property. In  
other words, it should have a set of parentheses after it. So this  
should work:

$('.morePhotos').click (function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  $(this).parents().find('.pPictureStrip').toggle();
});
