What do I have to change to the code below in order for the user to click on a flashcard header to open and close the flashcard answer?

  • I couldn't get toggle() to work with fadein/fadeout
  • the version below doesn't respond to the click

code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

        <script type="text/javascript"

        <script type="text/javascript">
            google.load("jquery", "1.4.1");
            google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {      
              $("div > div.question").click(function() {
                if($(this).next().is(":hidden") {
                   $(this).next().fadeIn("slow");
                } else {
                   $(this).next().fadeOut("slow");
                }
              });                              
            }); 
        </script>
        <style>
            div.flashcard {
              margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
            }
            div.flashcard div.question {
              background-color:#ddd; 
              width: 400px;         
              padding: 5px;    
              cursor: hand;   
              cursor: pointer;
            }
            div.flashcard div.answer {
              background-color:#eee; 
              width: 400px;
              padding: 5px;    
              display: none;      
            }
        </style>
    </head>

<body>
  <div id="1" class="flashcard">
    <div class="question">Who was Wagner?</div>
    <div class="answer">German composer, conductor, theatre director and essayist, primarily known for his operas (or "music dramas", as they were later called). Unlike most other opera composers, Wagner wrote both the music and libretto for every one of his works.</div>
  </div>

    <div class="question">Who was Thalberg?</div>
    <div class="answer">a composer and one of the most distinguished virtuoso pianists of the 19th century.</div>
