Pixel2Life Forum: specifying variables with jquery - Programming and General Web Design - Pixel2Life Forum

What I am looking to do is the show() feature in jquery. In my PHP code, I have the code listing directories and each directory's link I want to have a specific link and a specific <div> tag under it. For instance:

[directory link]
[div tag]

The div tag's id will be the same as the directory name, so when I click the directory link "1" it will show the div "1" under the link. Does that make sense? Now, I know how to show/hide div's in jquery, but how do I call specific variables with it?

The directory name would also be "1"

I don't know what you mean by variables, but this could easily be accomplished by selecting the next sibling of the link (if there is literally nothing else between the two).

i.e.

$('.directory').click(function (){
    $(this).next().show();
});

p.s. Showing the exact markup would help us give other suggestions
