I’m trying to accomplish the following, but I think my syntax is wrong. Are you not able to find subelements of an element found with eq()?
$('.excerpt_expander').click(function(){
clearInterval(run);
$(".feature_text_item").eq(item_count).find('.feature_excerpt').hide();
$(".feature_text_item").eq(item_count).find('.feature_full_text').show();
});
works fine for me: http://jsfiddle.net/nzTFd/
