Having a little trouble on this one. I need a way using Jquery/JS to find the HREF attribute of the enclosing link tag:

<a href="something.html"><img src="img1.jpg" class="active"></a>

I want to target the img by class and find the value of the 1st preceding href attribute.

$("img.active").somethingAwesome().attr("href");

Please show me somethingAwesome() …help?

    $("img.active").parent("a").attr("href") will get the direct parent’s href attribute, assuming it’s an anchor. If there’s any depth of containing blocks between the image and the anchor, use instead $("img.active").closest("a").attr("href").
