delegate only finding

delegate only finding

Perhaps I'm misreading the documentation on delegate, but placeText only ever finds sideBarInfo and not the actual element clicked.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Dean
  1. sideBarInfo.delegate('span.show', 'click', function() {
                var placeText = $(this).text();
               
                $(".hide:contains('" + placeText + "')")
                .slideToggle('slow');   
            });
