1st, if you don't already have it running, install
firefox with the Javascript debugger (need to use the
'custom install' feature). You'll then be able to see
exactly how the dom tree is layed out on each page
(text + div + other elements, etc)
>From what you've written it looks like you're getting
a text element instead of the div you desire. That's
probably the correct behavior, since any text will
generate a text element.
So instead of trying to use some sort of
relative/proximity access scheme, I'd suggest an
alternate more explicit approach. Perhaps naming your
'divs' with a numbering scheme if you're generating
them dynamically (e.g. 'item_21', 'item_22', etc.) as
well as your images (<img id='img_21' ...)
Then you can just parse off the number (indexOf +
substr) and lookup the associated 'item'/div
explicitly with getElementById('item_' + idnumber).
Not sure if that will fit your situation.
