.click function not working for links!

.click function not working for links!

Hi everyone.

I have an expandable menu (not an accordion), that needs to toggle div elements below it. If I put the click event on the h3 of the menu, it works fine but as soon as I put it on the link, it doesn't work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

JQUERY


$(document).ready(function(){
$(".expand").click(function(){
            $(this).next("div").slideToggle("fast")
            $(this).toggleClass("active");
         });
});



HTML


<h3 class="normal">Consortium Committees<a href="#" class="expand" title="Expand Section">Expand</a></h3>
                <div>   
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="#" title="">Consortium Steering Committee</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#" title="">Consortium Child Health Oversight Committee</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
