Hi all,

Say I have the following markup:

<a href=\"#\">a link</a>, <a href=\"#\">another</a>,

and this jQuery:

 $('a').click(function() {
    	$(this).fadeOut(300);
    	return false
    });

When you click the link it'll fade out, so far so good. What if I want to include the following "," (comma) as well? How do I target that?

Thanks,
Oskar

You can't target anything unless it has some tag of some kind around it in order to target.

<a href=\"#\">a link</a><span class=\"comma\">,</span> <a href=\"#\">another</a>

Now you can target it with $(".comma")

Aha, that was what I was afraid of. I ended up using your method with $(this).next().fadeOut(); Works fine.

Thank you! Now I've got a sweet ass module for clicking tags to posts ;-)
