You _could_ set an observer on each span, but it's _much_ better to
set one on #jobs and delegate.
Something like (off the top of my head, so I'm sure it's not quite
right, but it should give you the idea.)
$('jobs').observe('click', function (e) {
var span = e.findElement('span');
if (span) span.show();
});
If there are other spans than these, you could put a class on them and
add it to the 'findElement' argument.
