I am trying to store a DOM element into a variable by using this code:

var save_status = $(this).siblings(".save-status")[0];
save_status.append("<img src="images/loading-small.gif" width=30 />");

I get the following error though:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

Any idea why I might be getting this error?
Thanks!

    Replace 

    save_status.append("<img src="images/loading-small.gif" width=30 />");

    with

    save_status.append('<img src="images/loading-small.gif" width=30 />');

    The problem is in your quotations.
