I think something like this is what you are looking for. It adds a click function to the elements with view and hide classes, which shows/ hides the text, uses end to get back the initial object, next to get the next one and show/hide it and finally hides itself. It should work, but I didn't test it.
$('.view').click(function(){ $(this).prev(".more").hide().end().prev().show().end().hide(); }); $('.hide').click(function(){ $(this).prev(".more").show().end().next().show().end().hide(); });
