case 1:

[code=html]
var viewMore = ‘<span class=”view-more”>view more<span>’;
[/code]

case 2:

[code=html]
var viewMore = ‘<a class=”view-more” href=”#”>view more<span>’;
[/code]

jQuery(‘.view-more’).click(function(){
console.log(jQuery(this).next());
}

in case 1 the result is the next element, after ‘.view-more’ which Is what I expect.
However, in case 2, the result is not the next element, but the link itself. WHYYYYYYYY

Because the link is doing what it's supposed to do, go to the URL specified in the [B]href[/B] attribute, in this case the top of the page. Incidentally, and maybe helpfully, the [B]href[/B] attribute is NOT required on the <a> tag. Leave it off and see what happens.

Success!
