Answer 1

Selectors apply a function to all elements that match it. For example a selector like

$(".panel").slideToggle("slow");

will match all elements that have the panel class.

A simple solution would be to use ids to identify the panel you want to operate on.

<div id="panel1" class="panel"> .. </div>
<div id="panel2" class="panel"> .. </div>
<div id="panel3" class="panel"> .. </div>

And then in the jquery selector address this panel explicitly using

$("#panel1").slideToggle("slow");
