Question

Ok, lets see if I can explain this clearly enough here.
My HTML looks like

<li>
    <div class="info_left" rel="snack">Fries</div>
    <div class="info_right">
        <span class="info_remove">[Remove]</span>
        <span class="info_favorite">[Favorite]</span>
    </div>
</li>
<li>
    <div class="info_left" rel="lunch">Burger</div>
    <div class="info_right">
        <span class="info_remove">[Remove]</span>
        <span class="info_favorite">[Favorite]</span>
    </div>
</li>
<li>
    <div class="info_left" rel="4thmeal">Taco</div>
    <div class="info_right">
        <span class="info_remove">[Remove]</span>
        <span class="info_favorite">[Favorite]</span>
    </div>
</li>

If you will note you will see a “Remove” and “Favorite” inside a div “info_right”. What I need to do when either one of those 2 options is clicked on is get the rel and text values of the same li’s “info_left” div. I’ve tried a few ways but don’t think I’m nailing the combo between parent(s), siblings correctly or I dunno. Either way hoping someone can toss me a bone.

It should just be:

$('.info_remove,.info_favorite').on('click', function() {
   var $left = $(this).parent().siblings('.info_left');
   var rel = $left.attr('rel');
   var txt = $left.text();
   ...
});
