Question

I’m using the jquery.cjobjectScaler plugin (link text ) and due to circumstances beyond my control, the img is hyperlinked within the div… I don’t have any way to “strip out” that tag, nor can I reorder it at all…

So, the original function is this:

$("#productGrid li img").cjObjectScaler({
    destObj: $("#productGrid li img").parent("li"), // must be a jQuery object (required)
    method: "fit", // can either be fit or fill (default fill)
    fade: 800 // if a positive integer, will hide and fadeIn object n duration (default 0)
});

/* CSS for above */

ul#productGrid li {
    position: relative;
    display: block;
    width: 190px;
    height: 150px;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    float: left;
    margin-right:
    10px; margin-bottom:
    10px; overflow: hidden;
}

And this is the version I’m trying to use…

$(".ffts a img").cjObjectScaler({
     destObj: $(".ffts a img").parent("a"),
     method: "fill",
});

/* css for above */
.ffts a {
    width: 550px; 
    height: 300px;
}

/* here's the markup */
<div class="ffts">
     <a href="/img" style="position: relative;">
     <img src="/source/image.jpg" />
     </a>        
</div>

And, it does resize it, but not to the dimensions set for ffts a… I’ve verified that that style isn’t being overridden, so not sure where to go from here… ?

Your question is not quite clear, but if you just wanted to “get parent of parent”, use the prev() or parents() selectors.
