[jQuery] quick question, selecting dynamic elements


on click i am storing the ID of an the <a> i clicked.
i am then replacing characters in that string to get the desired
resulting string.
i am then trying to toggle a div whos ID is the resulting string.

    $("ul#specialsNav li a").click( function(){
        var whichID = $(this).attr("id").replace(/_a_/, "");
        var newSpecial = "div." + whichID;
        $(newSpecial).toggle();
    });
