try .parents() instead of .parent() if the parent you are looking for
is not the immediate parent of the element you specify (what Andy
said).
so $(this).parents("fieldset") should work
also, perhaps you should use .toggleClass
$(function(){
$("a.toggle")
.click(function(){
$
(this).parents("fieldset").toggleClass('collapsed')
});
});
haven't tested this but seems ok
