Great Ricardo! Couple of things to limit my possibility of making an error or needing to try/remember unnecessary variables:
Q1: Does the doc type are at the top of the page matter much.... strict? transitional? xmlns line? Q2: Do I need an EXTRA }); at the bottom of the script just before </script>? AND/OR should I try with $(document).ready(function() { right under <script type="text/javascript"> ??? I have found that the $(document).ready(function(){ helped with other scripts. ---------------- BELOW: script as I assume is correct based on your latest post above ---------------- <script type="text/javascript"> $('ul.first a').click(function(){ var n = this.id.substring(3); //get the numbers only $('#vid'+n).click(); // same as trigger('click'); }); </script> --------------- I have now tried the script (though without all the 'variables trying' I will do shortly) And, sorry to have to say I'm not getting a result yet. Have only tried on my main page and with my barest possible test page. I'll keep trying and never give up! :--) Here's a snip of each of the 2 areas though I'm pretty sure I've chossen the right example of mine 'above' that you were referencing to use with your latest code. One menu line: <li><a id="one1" name="one1" href="#first-a">section 1 item 1</a></ li> One videos line: <a href="vid1.flv" id='vid1' name='vid1' class="media"> video1</a> THIS above IS a part of what I would work with? yes I think. THANKS for the jsbin comment! And, I won't be surprised if right after I post this it starts working and I find it's some oversight of mine. Not working at the moment though.... only did my first tests though. y
