I'm extremely new to jquery and I've been struggling to create this action. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
I need a way in jquery that allows a user to click a span and toggle (i.e .toggle()) another div that contains the same text as the span being clicked, without having to repeat the same function for each individual span.
My example:
<ul>
<li class="sub">
<div class="filter-row">
<div class="row-section">
<div class="row-heading">art</div>
<span class="label studio-art">studio art</span>
<span class="label ceramics">ceramics</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li class="sub">
<div class="filter-row">
<div class="row-section">
<div class="row-heading">studio art</div>
<span class="label">Option 1</span>
<span class="label">Option 2</span>
</div>
<div class="row-section">
<div class="row-heading">ceramics</div>
<span class="label">Option 1</span>
<span class="label">Option 2</span>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
If a user were to click the span that contains "studio art", then I want the div that contains "studio art" to ".toggle()". I do know that I could give a unique class such as ".studio-art" to the span and div that i want to connect together, such as:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("span.label.studio-art").click(function(){
$(".row-section.studio-art").toggle();
});
$("span.label.ceramics").click(function(){
$(".row-section.ceramics").toggle();
});
});

But I want to avoid doing what I have above since I may have hundreds of spans or instances like this.
So basically I'm hoping for help to create a solution that only needs the string in a span to match the string in my "row-heading" div. So that when a span is clicked the row-section div will toggle.
Thank you for any help in advance.
