Hi all,
 
I have a simple calendar that I'm building, where I need to swap between
the months (yes I know there are calendar applications, but I need
something simple and lightweight), where my HTML looks like this:
 
---
<div id="calendar">
 
<a name="month-oct"></a>
<table id="month-oct">
<tr>
<th></th>
<th colspan="5">October</th>
<th><a href="#month-nov" class="next-month">Next</a></th>
</tr>
</table>
 
<a name="month-nov"></a>
<table id="month-nov">
<tr>
<th><a href="#month-oct" class="prev-month">Prev</a></th>
<th colspan="5">November</th>
<th><a href="#month-dec" class="next-month">Next</a></th>
</tr>
</table>
 
</div>
---
 
and my jQuery script looks like this:
 
---
//hide the calendar tables, then show first
$("#calendar table").hide();
$("#calendar #month-oct").show();
 
$("#calendar th a").click(function(){
// show next table based on anchor
$(this.href.substring(this.href.indexOf("#"), this.href.length)).show();
 
// hide current table
$(this).parent().parent().parent().hide();
 
//don't click through
return false;
});
---
 
Here's the problem - when I click on "Next" in the first table, the
second table is displayed, and the first dissapears, but when I click on
"Prev" in the second table, it dissapears, but the first one doesn't
re-appear! Why would that happen? The function to show the next table is
the same as the previous, so i can't see what would cause it to not
show? Does hide() now remove the HTML from the code or something?  I can
accurately target the previous table - if I replace hide() with a css()
rule, it works OK.
 
Any ideas?
