Here’s the source, am I missing something?
I tried it here, and it works, but on my PC it’s not working.
–EDIT
I used jquery min v1.4.1, it didn’t work, so I downloaded latest version, still not working, on the link I used google’s jquery SDN which is v1.5.1. 

<html>
    <head>
    <title>Test</title>
    <script src="jquery-1.6.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $('document').ready(function() {
        $('#bio > div').hide();
        $('#bio > div:first').show();
    });
    $('#bio h3').click(function() {
        alert('called');
        $(this).next().animate(
            {'height':'toggle'}, 'slow', 'swing'
        );
    });
    $('p:first').animate(
        {
        height: '+=100px',
        backgroundColor: 'green'
        },
        {
            duration: 'slow',
            easing: 'swing',
            complete: function() {alert('done!');},
            queue: false
        }
    );
    </script>
    </head>

    I think your document.ready was being closed too soon.

    I simply moved the brackets }); to the end of your script…

    <script type="text/javascript">
$('document').ready(function() {
    $('#bio > div').hide();
    $('#bio > div:first').show();
    $('#bio h3').click(function() {
        alert('called');
        $(this).next().animate(
            {'height':'toggle'}, 'slow', 'swing'
        );
    });
    $('p:first').animate(
        {
        height: '+=100px',
        backgroundColor: 'green'
        },
        {
        duration: 'slow',
        easing: 'swing',
        complete: function() {alert('done!');},
        queue: false
        }
    );
});
</script>

    Why? For example, you’re trying to bind events like .click() to an element called #bio h3. However, the element #bio h3 might not yet even exist yet in the DOM since you’re calling the script in the <head>. Using document.ready ensures the DOM exists before executing the code within.

    Why it works in some browsers is likely a simple timing issue.
