two nested functions in jquery?

Question

I'm not sure if this is actually possible but I would have thought it is. I am very new to jquery. What I am trying to do is nest two functions.

Hide the target div load the new page into the div open up the div again

This works if I place the initial slideToggle on its own but I want to make sure the page is loaded before opening again

function nickyLoad(siteToFetch,whereToPut){
$('#'+whereToPut+'').slideToggle('slow', function() {// collapse target
    $('#'+whereToPut+'').load(siteToFetch, function() { //load new site
        $('#'+whereToPut+'').slideToggle('slow','');
    });
)};

}

Many thanks!

I don't see anything seriously wrong with that; what is the problem? — Pointy

Does it make your computer explode? Does it give you head lice? Does it turn the screen all black suddenly? — Pointy

Its javascript... thus it results in none of the scripts working... Could it be that I cant use slideToggle within slideToggle? — nicky

You've mixed up the order of } and ) when closing the first slideToggle call (you've written )}; instead of });

function nickyLoad(siteToFetch,whereToPut){
    $('#'+whereToPut+'').slideToggle('slow', function() {// collapse target
            $('#'+whereToPut+'').load(siteToFetch, function() { //load new site
                    $('#'+whereToPut+'').slideToggle('slow','');
            });
    }); //<-- corrected
}

These things (syntax errors) are easy to find with some simple tools. In firefox you can open the error console (Tools --> Error Console) and go to the "Error" tab. In Internet Explorer use the Developer Tools (Tools --> Developer Tools) and go to the "Script" tab.

Firebug for firefox is also highly recommended.
