Help with jquery toggle

Hi, I have designed a website using the same functionality as this: http://codepen.io/erikmcclintock/pen/FmvAn however I need different content within each separate div. I am unsure on how to achieve this! The first div has been completed. The second and third divs have id's called "portfolio" and "contact" Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Where the text says "I was hidden now I am not" in the <p> you can just put in whatever 'content' you want. You can put it in more divs, images, anything really.

You have three divs, clicking each one expands a different div. And it works. What is the question?

i need different content in each div

Um...so you need to type that different content in those divs. Check your link, I made some modifications.

OK, the changes are gone, but generally do what Angus wrote below :)

Okay my fault, my code is slightly different to the link. I have 3 divs, each has different content however in 1 div the text is hidden however i want the text in all 3 to be hidden until clicked. Here is the query i have:

//this is necessary at the top of your jquery doc to tell the script when to load, which in this case, is once the DOCUMENT (your webpage) is READY
$(document).ready(function(){

    //hide the .aboutMe paragraph when the page first loads
    $(".aboutMe").hide();

    //listen for anything with a class of .section to be clicked, then run the code within
    $(".section").click(function(){

        //check to see if THIS div (the div that was clicked) has a class of .expanded...
        if($(this).hasClass("expanded")) {
            //...and then if it DOES have the class .expanded, first REMOVE that class and then ADD the class .collapsed...
            $(this).removeClass("expanded").addClass("collapsed");
            //...and then check to see if the div is the one with the ID of #about...
            if($(this).attr("id") == "about") {
                //...and then if it DOES, make the .aboutMe paragraph inside fade out...
                $(".aboutMe").fadeOut("slow");
            }
        } else {//if THIS div (the div that was clicked) does NOT has a class of .expanded, then...
            //...REMOVE the class .collapsed, and then ADD the class .expanded...
            $(this).removeClass("collapsed").addClass("expanded");
            //...and then check to see if the div is the one with the ID of #about...
            if($(this).attr("id") == "about") {
                //...and then if it DOES, make the .aboutMe paragraph inside fade in...
                $(".aboutMe").fadeIn("slow");
            }
        }

    });

});

Can you publish all the code, including HTML and CSS somewhere? jQuery itself doesn't say much without the source it operates on ;)

Here I put it all in codepen for you. Easier to look at it that way. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/bItsg
