http://jsfiddle.net/mblase75/FJchB/ — your code works fine for me.

Perhaps the variable old_id isn’t set in your code? I had to set it to “index” to get anything to happen.

As others have suggested, you also need to wrap your code in a $(document).ready{...} block so it only runs after the elements are loaded.
