[jQuery] quick question, selecting dynamic elements

[Josh V]

on click  i am storing the ID of an the <a> i clicked.

i am then replacing characters in that string to get the desired
resulting string.

i am then trying to toggle a div whos ID is the resulting string.

heres what i got.

        $("ul#specialsNav li a").click( function(){
                var whichID = $(this).attr("id").replace(/_a_/, "");
                var newSpecial = "div." + whichID;
                $(newSpecial).toggle();
        });

i have tried putting...

$("newSpecial").toggle();

but nothing
