Having a little trouble on this one. I need a way using Jquery/JS to find the HREF attribute of the enclosing link tag:
<a href="something.html"><img src="img1.jpg" class="active"></a>
I want to target the img by class and find the value of the 1st preceding href attribute.
$("img.active").somethingAwesome().attr("href");
Please show me somethingAwesome() ...help?
$("img.active").parent("a").attr("href")
will get the direct parent's href attribute, assuming it's an anchor. If there's any depth of containing blocks between the image and the anchor, use instead $("img.active").closest("a").attr("href")
.
