I have a pretty basic jQuery question and forgive me if it has already been answered. Basically I attempt to have a link slide down a div. This is fairly simple however I require multiple links sliding down their respective divs. I understand I can just name the links and divs unique classes and solve the problem that way, however this naturally also requires a duplication of the jQuery code for each link-div and i have a lot. I therefore need a general script. A simplified version of my situation is as follows: HTML: <div> <a id=link1>toggle text 1</a> <div class=link1>TEXT 1</div> <a id=link2>toggle text 2</a> <div class=link2>TEXT 2</div> </div> My attempt at a jQuery general script for this: $(document).ready(function() { $('[id^=link]').bind('click', function() { var $div = $(this).attr('id'); if($('[class=' + div + ']').is(':visible
