jQuery - Using img ID in a div REL

Question

I'm trying (with very limited jQuery knowledge :) to animate a DIV when you hover over a thumbnail. I thought i could use the image ID in the REL to animate the DIV with that REL. For some reason all i end up is OBJECT OBJECT when i try to alert the div REL and it's kinda driving me nuts. Here's what i used:

    $(function(){

var screenCenter = $(window).width() / 2;
var projectID = this.id;

$(document).mousemove(function(e){
    if (e.pageX < screenCenter) {

    }
    else if (e.pageX > screenCenter) {

        $("#portfolio_thumbs img").hover(function() {

            //$("div[rel=" + projectID + "]").animate({left:'100px'},{queue:false,duration:300});

            alert($('div[rel=" + projectID + "]'))

        });


    }

    $('#portfolio_thumbs img').mouseout(function() {
        $(".project_description").animate({left:'-440px'},{queue:false,duration:300});
    });

});

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

this.id is out of scope. You need to add it inside the hover callback:

$('#portfolio_thumbs img').hover(function() {
    $('div[rel="' + this.id + '"]').animate({left:'100px'},{queue:false,duration:300});
});
