That works for me but I do see how this can be refactored:

a id=stuff class=baritem href=#stuff_menuMy Account/a

div id=stuff_menu class=SomeClass
a href=##My Account/a
a href=##More stuff/a
a href=##Here is a menu item/a
a href=##Here is a menu item/a
a href=##Here is a menu item/a
a href=##Here is a menu item/a
/div

Notice that I've changed the IDs so that the DIV has the link ID plus
some other string, rather than the other way around.

Also, I've added a class to the DIV to make it easier to set styles.
This isn't strictly necessary.

$(function()
{
/* set up the onclick handler for all links on page load
 */
$('.baritem').click(function()
{
$('#' + this.id + '_menu').toggle();
return false;
});
});

 What this suppose to do is when you click a link, it will change
 settings of a specific div to visible
 The HTML:

 a id=stuff-root class=baritem href=javascript:void(0)
 onclick=showMenu('stuff');My Account/a
 div id=stuff
        a href=##My Account/a
        a href=##More stuff/a
        a href=##Here is a menu item/a
        a href=##Here is a menu item/a
        a href=##Here is a menu item/a
        a href=##Here is a menu item/a
 /div



 Why doesn't this work? What am I doing wrong.. When I alert this, I
 get the correct div ids?
