jquery for each function

I have added a show more or less function to a div - this all works fine however now i need to only allow this functionality if a element is over a certain height in this case. there are numerous classes of the same so i need to do the check on each element. although i am having problems getting it to work see code below :

$(document).ready(function() {
$(".less").hide();
$(".more").each(function() {
        var actualHeight = ($(this).parent().parent().find('.appsList').height());
        if (actualHeight < 150) {
        $(".more").hide();  
        }

                         });

$(".more").click(function() {
        var paragraphHeight = ($(this).parent().parent().find('.appsList').height());
        if (paragraphHeight > 150) {
        $(this).parent().parent().find('.appsHolderBody').animate({height:(paragraphHeight + 100) });
        $(this).hide('slow');
        $(this).parent().find('.less').show();
        }
        return false;    
                          });

$(".less").click(function() {
        $(this).parent().parent().find('.appsHolderBody').animate({height:190 });             
        $(this).hide('slow');
        $(this).parent().find('.more').show();
        return false;
                          });

});

Any help would be greatly appreciated - please note when i am targeting the parent using .parent.parent i know its not pretty but could'nt get it to run using eq(4) for some reason.

so the main problem is with this part of code

$(".more").each(function() {
        var actualHeight = ($(this).parent().parent().find('.appsList').height());
        if (actualHeight < 150) {
        $(".more").hide();  
        }

it hides all of the elements $(".more") instead of the ones that match the condition.

<div class="appsHolder">

<div class="appsHolderBody">
<h5 class="appTitle">General Apps</h5>
<ul class="appsList">

<li class="mainAppList">Resource Manager</li>

Still waiting for a reply on your comment but I refactored a little...

$(function() {
    $(".less").hide();
    $(".more").each(function() {
        if ($(this).parents('.appsList').height() < 150)
            $(this).hide();  
    });

    $(".more").click(function() {
        var paragraphHeight = $(this).parents('.appsList').height();
        if (paragraphHeight > 150) {
            $(this).parents('.appsHolderBody').animate({height:(paragraphHeight + 100)});
            $(this).hide('slow');
            $(this).parent().find('.less').show();
        }
        return false;    
    });

    $(".less").click(function() {
        $(this).parents('.appsHolderBody').animate({height:190 });
        $(this).hide('slow');
        $(this).parent().find('.more').show();
        return false;
    });

});

Define a standard way of referencing the DIVs. For example, place all the divs which follow this rule inside another DIV with ID="heightCheckingDivs".

Cycle through the DIVs in this collection and do what you are doing above. Add the class if needed, otherwise leave it alone. To make things easy on yourself, define a common class which holds the look-feel information and another two classes which apply the styles you need in the cases you are adding .more or .less
