 <div id="chatCenterMembers">
   <div class="chatmember">
       <a title="Blah Blah Blah">
          <div class="newchatmessage" style="display: block;"></div>

How can I capture the visible div in an if statement?

I have $(this) set to <div class="chatmember"> – second line from the top.

I’ve been working with below but had now luck so far.

if($(this+' a div.newchatmessage').filter(":visible")) {

Above just drops out…

I’ve also tried below and it doesn’t work either

if ($(this + 'a div.newchatmessage').is(':visible')) {

    .is()

    for any detailed information on this method, just scroll down a bit … there’s a bunch of examples!

    edit (thanks for the hint @Wesley Murch):
    if this does not work, your selector might be wrong … $(this+' a div.newchatmessage') looks quite strange … it might rather be $('a div.newchatmessage', this) or $('a div.newchatmessage', $(this)) depending on this being a jQuery-variable or not
