Question

I got a coldfusion query where the result is grouped on country names. With a click on this one, I try to open or close the list under the country. But i cannot work correctly with this siblings and this parents. The result is, if i click on a country name, the fourth one, for example, it close all childrens, and the three country name which are before too.
Can someone help me to choose the right selectors ?
Thank you in advance ,
Michel

The code:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">  
    $(document).ready(function(){
        var toggleMinus = '<cfoutput>#variables.strWebAddress#</cfoutput>/images/bullet_toggle_minus.png';
        var togglePlus = '<cfoutput>#variables.strWebAddress#</cfoutput>/images/bullet_toggle_plus.png';
        var $subHead = $('table#categorylist tbody th:first-child');
        $subHead.prepend('<img src="' +toggleMinus+ '" alt="collapse this section" />&nbsp;');
        $('img', $subHead).addClass('clickable').click(function(){
            var toggleSrc = $(this).attr('src');
            if(toggleSrc == toggleMinus){
               $(this).attr('src',togglePlus).parents('.country').siblings().fadeOut('fast');
            }else{
              $(this).attr('src',toggleMinus).parents('.country').siblings().fadeIn('fast');
            }
        });
     }); 
</script>

<table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" align="center id="categorylist">

Instead of:

.parents('.country').siblings().fadeOut('fast');

Try this:

.closest('.country').nextUntil('.country').fadeOut('fast');

And of course, apply the same change to the .fadeIn(). You might also look into .fadeToggle()^docs.

Here’s a (reduced) example: http://jsfiddle.net/redler/5sqJz/. While it doesn’t affect the example, presumably you would be setting the initial state of those detail rows as hidden.
