jquery show() not working

im making a todo list app in php and im using unordered lists to print them out.What I want is to display the titles of todo lists to be displayed first and their contents hidden initially but displayed later via the click event in jQuery.This is what i have tried so far...

<?php 
include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$todo = $_POST['todo'];
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO todo (todo,name) 
 VALUES('$todo','$name')")  
 or die (mysql_error());
 $sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT name FROM todo");
$todofeed .= ' <ul id = "nav">';         
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql2))
{
$name1 = $row["name"];
$todofeed.='<li class="title"><a href="#">' . $name1 . '</a></li>';

$sql3 = mysql_query("SELECT id, todo FROM todo WHERE name='$name1' ");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql3))
{$todo1 = $row["todo"];

    $todofeed.='<ul>
    <li id="items">' . $todo1 . '</li>
</ul>';}}
    $todofeed .= '</ul>';     
     print "$todofeed";

    ?>
    <style type="text/css">

  li#items
    {
   display:none;
  }
     </style>
      <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {


$('ul#nav li#title').click(function() {
 $('li#items').css('display' , 'visible');
});
});
       </script>

any way to fix this?

I'd suggest to use "a" instead "li.title", to prevent default link click behaviour

$('#nav').on('click', 'li.title a', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $('#nav .items').hide(); 
})

Your list element has a class name and not a ID, try

$('ul#nav li.title')

$('ul#nav li.title').click(function() {

because of your

$todofeed.='<li class="title"><a href="#">' . $name1 . '</a></li>';
