$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#comments span h5 a").click(function(){
                var author = $(this).parent("span").next("p").text();
                alert(author);
        })
 });
</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="comments">
<div id="5"><span><h4>Minion</h4><h5>(<a href="#">Reply</a>)</h5></
span><br>
<p>Back to normal status</p>
</div>
</div>

I'm trying to figure out how to grab the text between the <p> tags
when reply is clicked. I know I got the reply link targeted. I first
just had an alert, but tried going further. At first I just had $
(this).next("p").text(); but thought maybe I needed to go to the
parent, then move on, but it just shows a blank alert box.
