[jQuery] jQuery for loop - am I crazy?

[cloudsteph]

I think I may have been looking at this a little too long or something
to cause it not to work coz it seems like it should be pretty simple
to do, but it no work for me :(  What I want to do is loop through all
the <dl> elements within a certain div and hide all of them except for
the first one.  Here's my broken code:

function initDashboard(){
        $(document).ready(function(){
                if($(".adminMsgSummary").length > 0){
                        var theCount = $(".adminMsgSummary dl").length-1;
                        for(z=1;z<=theCount;z++){
                                var theDl = $(".adminMsgSummary dl");
                                theDl[z].hide("fast");
                        }
                }
        });
}


Any ideas??????
