[jQuery] Need help using JQuery selectors


I am trying to use this jquery slide function that i found online. It's a
very basic slide plugin i suppose, which selects a div using the div's id
tag. I wanted to make my menu hide/reveal multiple divs and therefore I
modified this function that I keep in my .js file to make things work
theoretically. But for some reason I cannot get this to work and I think
that it might be that my selectors are implemented wrong in my js file. Here
is an example of what I've got which seems to work except for when I try my
modified code:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".fadeNext_home").click(function(){
        $("#home").fadeSliderToggle()
         return false;
    })
});
This is the code that works in my js file:
    caller = this
    if($(caller).css("display") == "none"){
        $(caller).animate({
            opacity: 1,
            height: 'toggle'
        }, settings.speed, settings.easing);
    }else{
        $(caller).animate({
            opacity: 0,
            height: 'toggle'
        }, settings.speed, settings.easing);
    }
};
And this is a modified version with my own selector that does not work. And
I think it's because of the way that I'm trying to interact with an id tag
that was not passed to the js file:
    if($(caller).css("display") == "none"){
        
        if($("#home").css("display") != "none"){
            $("#home").animate({
                opacity: 0,
                height: 'toggle'
            }, settings.speed, settings.easing);
        }
I'm new to jquery (obviously) and would appriciate any help. Thanks so
much!
thanks,
wes
