How can I get jquery to toggle-fade a flashcard div open and closed on click?
- by Edward Tanguay
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:

$(this).next().fadeIn("slow");
} else {
$(this).next().fadeOut("slow");
}
});
});
