When using jQuery's click event on a class, how can I avoid calling the event for all with that class name?

I am sorry for the poorly worded question, but if you look at the code, what I am asking is really quite simple.

$(".toggle").click(function () { 
    var togg = $(this).attr( 'id' );
    if( $(this).text() == 'Read More >>' )
    {
        $("." + togg).addClass( "myBlurbExpanded" , 2000 );
        $("." + togg).removeClass( togg , 2000 );
        $(this).text('Read Less >>');
    }
    else if( $(this).text() == 'Read Less >>' )
    {
        $(".myBlurbExpanded").addClass( togg , 2000 );
        $(".myBlurbExpanded").removeClass( "myBlurbExpanded" , 2000 );
        $(this).text('Read More >>');
    }
   });

My page has a bunch of biographies on different people next to their picture. I do not want the entire bio to be visible, so there is a 'show more' and 'show less' link. The 'show more/less' link has a class of '.toggle'. So every time this click is executed, all of the biographies expand. How can I limit the biography expansion to only the one which is clicked. Am I going about it the wrong way by adding the .toggle class to the link. Thanks!

Thank you for the responses.

First, here is an example of my html

<div class="teamInfo">
    <h3 class="lightblue">John Doe</h3>
    <p class="lightblue"><strong>Programmer</strong></p>
    <div class="myBlurb8">
      information about this person
    </div>
    <a h开发者_StackOverflow社区ref="#" onclick="return false;" id="myBlurb8" class="toggle">Read More >></a>
</div>

Next, I will try to change . + togg to (this) and see what happens.

Cheers!

You need to assign a variable to the click function's event and then use the event.target instead of this like so:

$(".toggle").click(function (event) { 
    var $target = $(event.target);
    var togg = $target.attr( 'id' );
    if( $target.text() == 'Read More >>' )
    {
        $("." + togg).addClass( "myBlurbExpanded" , 2000 );
        $("." + togg).removeClass( togg , 2000 );
        $target.text('Read Less >>');
    }
    else if( $target.text() == 'Read Less >>' )
    {
        $(".myBlurbExpanded").addClass( togg , 2000 );
        $(".myBlurbExpanded").removeClass( "myBlurbExpanded" , 2000 );
        $target.text('Read More >>');
    }
});
