Thanks for the help everyone- it works! :) Now, some tweaking... I have several divisions that I want to show in this manner, so how do I make the code a general rule as opposed to a specific order to show #overview? For example, how would I show #contact without writing a new script snippet? I would like to use the same class ("fadein").
------------------------------ As an update, here is my relevant (and working!) code: Script in head: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $('.fadein').click(function(){ $('#overview').show('slow'); return false; }); }); </script> CSS: div#overview { display: none; } HTML in body: <a class="fadein">Overview</a> <div id="overview"><p>this is the overview text</p></div>
