<div class="test">
<button>Example</button>
<div class="example" style="display:none;">Blah</div>
</div>
<div class="test">
<button>Example</button>
<div class="example" style="display:none;">Another</div>
</div>
When button gets clicked, I want .example to .show, but only the .example that's in the current .test.
Another way that works for your particular HTML:
$('button').click(function(){
$(this).next('.example').show();
});
This will do exactly what you said:
$('button').click(function(){
$(this).closest('.test').find('.example').show();
});
This works too for the markup you posted, but it won't work if the button and .example are not siblings:
$('button').click(function(){
$(this).siblings('.example').show();
});
Hiya Working demo for your case here: http://jsfiddle.net/4bLZF/
this uses slideToggle http://api.jquery.com/slideToggle/
code
$(document).ready(function () {
// Watch for clicks on the "slide" link.
$('button').click(function () {
$(this).next(".example").slideToggle(400);
return false;
});
});
