[jQuery] $(this).next() not matching sibling table

[gravyface]

Hello,

Trying to hide a table that's a sibling to the anchor to which the
click event is being called.  It works, with any element but a table
as a sibling.  My code/markup:

<script type="text/javascript">

 $(document).ready(function(){

   // show/hide details
   $(".show-hide-me").click(function() {
        $(this).next().hide();
   });

});

</script>

<!-- markup -->

<a href="#" class="show-hide-me">Show/Hide Details</a>

<table class="details">
<tr>
<td>
...
