Things to check:
- Is `container` a class or id? If so you'll need to add a `.` or `#` respectively
- That the expression in the `.find()` function returns what you're expecting
Can you post a link to a JSFiddle or something?
I have a working example here that is similar to your situation.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div data-slider="1" class="hidden">1</div>
<div data-slider="2">2</div>
</div>
<button id="show-1">show slider 1</button>
CSS
.hidden {
display: none;
}
JavaScript
var one = "1";
$("#show-1").click(function(e){
$(".container").find("[data-slider='" + one + "']").removeClass("hidden");
});
