I am a nOOb to jQuery.

I want to use variables in jQuery to hide/show divs.

what I have so far is:

$(document).ready(function(){ $('#listMenu a').click(function () { var getPage = $(this).attr("id"); var getName = $(this).attr("name"); //console.log(getPage); //console.log(getName);

        $("#" & getName ).show();



});

});

firebug console shows that I have the vars correctly, but I get this error next:

this[H].style is undefined [Break on this error] (function(){var R=/((?:((?:([^()]+)...typeof K==="string"?K:K+"px")}})})();

any help is appreciated. sjs
