Targetting a span with jQuery $(this)
<p>This should be straightforward but I cannot get it to work.</p>

<p>My HTML is:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;span class="more-button" onclick="homePageMore()"&gt;[read more...]&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>And the function is:</p>

<pre><code>function homePageMore(){
    $(this).hide('slow');                               
    $("#home-page-more").slideToggle('slow');                
}
</code></pre>

<p>The div I'm targeting slides down just fine, but the span that I want to hide (which I'm trying to select with <code>$(this)</code>) will not hide. Why not??</p>
