Yep. Get that. Tks.
However, I am trying to make my code re-useable, right now there are
two sets of trigger-and-map markup. I will have 10 to 20.
I was hoping to find a jQ construct that would say: "if a map-trigger
is clicked, I will expand the map that immediately follows it in the
DOM".
That way I would not need to have an #id for each trigger/map in HTML
and the jQ would be one lump of code, not a set of identical lumps,
each one handling one of the trigger-and-maps.
Thanks again for your reply - sorry if I'm not explaining myself well.
Cheers, -Alan
