Jquery Hide Function in PHP

I have a while statement that is echoing about 10 different stories. Every story has a user comment. When clicking the button edit I want one of the functions to hide the user comment. Here is the code I wrote to try and make it happen. Let me know if you think of why this wouldn't work.

<script>
    $(".edit_<?php echo $story_id ?>").click(function () {
    $(".comment_<?php echo $story_id ?>").hide("fast");
     });    
</script>
<?php
if (!empty($user_comment))
echo "
<p class='user_comment comment_$story_id'><strong>$user_comment</strong> <a class='edit_story_comment edit_$story_id'>Edit</a></p>";
else
echo "<p id='user_comment_$story_id'><span id='edit_no_story_comment'>Edit</span></p>";
?>

so im gonna ges its becuse of the ankertag is being defined after you are hocking upp the event with jquery

use jquerys on load event to get around this

$(function() {
 $(".edit_<?php echo $story_id ?>").click(function () {
  $(".comment_<?php echo $story_id ?>").hide("fast");
 });    
});

hope this help

(mixing php html and jquery and string concatenation is beautiful btw :D)
