Question

I can’t seem to work out why this simple .parent() is not working.

Currently inside my div.entry I have text links and image links.

The image links always wrap img’s

And the hyperlinks are just text.

If I add this script, then all my a tags inside div.entry launch fancy box…

$(".entry a").fancybox();

So to target just the img hyperlinks (which are links to my fullsize image), I tried all of these…

$(".entry a img").parent('a').fancybox();

$(".entry a img").parent().fancybox();

$(".entry a img").closest('a').fancybox();

But none of these seem to work??

Can anyone advise on what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

The correct way to do that would be:

$('.entry a:has(img)');

but your way of doing it should also work.

What do you get if you try console.log( $(".entry a img") )?
