jQuery div content partial hide, show all

I have this solution I am trying to use but it uses ID's. I want multiple divs on the same page using the same classes. I changed开发者_StackOverflow the ID references to classes but I can not get them to fire independently of each other. They all fire at the same time. How would I get them to fire independently. I thought by wrapping the function in a .each() that would fix it but it seems to still be firing all my divs to open at the same time.

Any suggestions are very helpful. Thanks.

$(function(){

var slideHeight = 75; // px
var defHeight = $('.wrap').height();
    if(defHeight >= slideHeight){
        $('.wrap').css('height' , slideHeight + 'px');
        $('.read-more').append('<a href="#">Click to Read More</a>');
        $('.read-more a').click(function(){
            var curHeight = $('.wrap').height();
            if(curHeight == slideHeight){
                $('.wrap').animate({
                  height: defHeight
                }, "normal");
                $('.read-more a').html('Close');
                $('.gradient').fadeOut();
            }else{
                $('.wrap').animate({
                  height: slideHeight
                }, "normal");
                $('.read-more a').html('Click to Read More');
                $('.gradient').fadeIn();
            }
            return false;
        });
    }// end if

});

use all classes and replace your code with this. I hope it is self explanatory why it works.

var slideHeight = 75;
$(".container").each(function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    var $wrap = $this.children(".wrap");
    var defHeight = $wrap.height();
    if (defHeight >= slideHeight) {
        var $readMore = $this.find(".read-more");
        $wrap.css("height", slideHeight + "px");
        $readMore.append("<a href='#'>Click to Read More</a>");
        $readMore.children("a").bind("click", function(event) {
            var curHeight = $wrap.height();
            if (curHeight == slideHeight) {
                $wrap.animate({
                    height: defHeight
                }, "normal");
                $(this).text("Close");
                $wrap.children(".gradient").fadeOut();
            } else {
                $wrap.animate({
                    height: slideHeight
                }, "normal");
                $(this).text("Click to Read More");
                $wrap.children(".gradient").fadeIn();
            }
            return false;
        });
    }
});

You can use ":first" selector, then remove the class from that object, then call again. Or if you don't want to remove a class, add a class and use the ":first" and ":not" selectors
