ricardobeat, thank you very much for your response. This is obviously my first time working with jquery. I have translated your code to my page with some unexpected results. When I click on any .menu > ul > li a all the page does is hide the image in my main gallery which is also ran by jquery. I don't understand this since nothing in the gallery is a parent of .menu. See a live example here:
