[jQuery] Re: Get following rows in a table until id not match certain pattern

[Charlie]

if you work with ID's you won't have choice but to use filters, however if you can associate a class  matching system when you construct the ID's   would simplify filtering <tr id="top11_21"><td><a href="" id="top11_21click" class="class11_21">click here</a></ td>...rest of row data</td></tr> <tr id="act11_21_1" class="class11_21"><td>...</td></tr> <tr id="act11_21_2" class="class11_21"><td>...</td></tr> $("td").click(function () {     className= $(this).attr("class");     $(this).nextAll(className).show(); }); pantagruel wrote: Hi, I have a situation where a user clicks on something in a particular table row which should cause all following rows in that table that have a particular format of id to toggle visibility.. so for example <tr id="top11_21"><td><a href="" id="top11_21click">click here</a></ td>...rest of row data</td></tr> <tr id="act11_21_1"><td>...</td></tr> <tr id="act11_21_2"><td>...</td></tr> ................ <tr id="act11_21_30"><td>...</td></tr> <tr id="top11_22"><td><a href="" id="top11_22click">click here</a></ td>...rest of row data</td></tr> when someone clicks on top11_21click it should toggle the visibility of rows act11_21_1 to act11_21_30 I would like to have this efficient, thus not just a find or filter, but rather something that gets the context of the clicked row and then loops following rows until the input does not match - any suggestions for a jquery like way of handling this?
