I'm trying to build a really simple generic toggle functionality where the toggling "switch" has a class of .toggle
and then I want it to toggle()
the next element that has the class .toggle-content
.
Example HTML:
<p>
<a href="#" class="toggle">Toggle the thing</a>
</p>
<p class="toggle-content hidden">I'm totally hidden right now</p>
So right now I'd toggle that with:
$(".toggle").click(function() {
$(this).parent().next('.toggle-content').toggle();
});
The problem is if the .toggle
class is any deeper in the DOM, I have to keep tacking on more parent()
's depending on how deep it is/isn't.
So how can I just select the next instance of .toggle-content
without having use a bunch of parent()
's and next()
's?
