problem with show hide toggle and .next()
I've got the following working on a menu where I have links: a class="show" followed by div class="showme"
it works toggling all divs at once but when I try to use next() I get nothing - I can't see what could be wrong:
(the //commented out bit is the next() attempt which doesn't work)
    
     - <script type="text/javascript">
 jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery("a.show").click(function(){
    jQuery(".showme").slideToggle(500);
//    jQuery(this).next(".showme").slideToggle(500);
    return false;
    });
 });
</script>
 
    
hope someone can see where I've gone wrong here..
thanks in advance
