Question

I have a simple script:

$('.expand').each(function(i){ 
var _Expand = $(this).parent();
    ExpGroupBy(_Expand);
});

Trying to pass the <tr> of all <td> with the class ‘expand’

However firebug keeps popping up the Error:

‘TypeError:
formObj.getElementsByTagName is not a
function’

Any ideas?

Thanks ^^

As long as the function understands that the parameter is the jQuery object and not the DOM element itself. If the function expects a DOM element reference, you can easily do that like this…

$('.expand').each(function(i){
  var _Expand = $(this).parent();
  ExpGroupBy(_Expand[0]);  // Note the [0]
});
