Question

I am learning JQuery and was working with JQuery script which slides text through pictures:

<script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            var currentImg = 1,
                totalImages = 4
                loopTime = 1000,
                intervalId = null;


            function displayTitle(imgNbr) {
                $('.title').hide();
                $('#image'+imgNbr).prev('div').show();
            }

            $('img').on('mouseover', function() {
                clearInterval(intervalId);
                displayTitle($(this).parent().attr('id').substring(5));
            }).on('mouseout', function() {
                currentImg = $(this).parent().attr('id').substring(5);
                startLoop();
            })

            function startLoop() {
                intervalId = setInterval(function() {
                    displayTitle(currentImg);
                    currentImg = ((currentImg == totalImages) ? 1 : parseInt(currentImg)+1);
                }, loopTime);
            }
            startLoop();
        });
   </script>

But when I try to add [a href=”#”] tag between [div] and image tags it stops working. Could you please help me to fix it. Thanks.

<div class="imgcontainer">
    <div class="title">title 1</div>
    <div class="img" id="image1"><a href="#"><img src="images/image1.jpg" /></a></div>
</div>

<div class="imgcontainer">
    <div class="title">title 2</div>
    <div class="img" id="image2"><a href="#"><img src="images/image2.jpg" /></a></div>
</div>    

<div class="imgcontainer">
    <div class="title">title 3</div>
    <div class="img" id="image3"><a href="#"><img src="images/image3.jpg" /></a></div>
</div>

Answer 1

Change:

displayTitle($(this).parent().attr('id').substring(5));

to:

displayTitle($(this).parents('div').attr('id').substring(5));
