So, I'm having difficulty trying to append/add a child div to the parent div, and thought someone out here may know the best way for me to go about this. I have attached my code (without PHP right now, just hard coding text and stuff). But here is what I am trying to do:
When a message is posted, you hit the "Reply Button" and a new div will appear underneath containing the reply form.
Right now, here are the issues I know about and can't get around:
The DIV is a class, so when I use jQuery to try to target the DIV it targets everything since it's no unique.
The Reply Button is also a class, so it's not unique.
Here is a video of it in action: http://tinypic.com/r/2luxwnr/7

JQUERY
$(".btn-reply").click(function() {
$(".newreply").toggleClass("show");
return false;
});
So, I see the flaws, but I just can't wrap my head around how to pull this off! Any guidance would be awesome! :)
