[jQuery] find dd's dt

2007-03-29 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux 
hello!
 
i guess i'm not too good in finding my way upwards in the DOM tree.
 
I have a structure like this:
 
dl#navigation 
dl#navigation  dt 
dl#navigation  dd  ul  li  a.selected
 
dl#navigation  dt 
dl#navigation  dd  ul  li  a 
 
dl#navigation  dt 
dl#navigation  dd  ul  li  a
 
/dl
 
all  ul are hidden but the one containing the selected a. I need to access that 
specific dt element.
 
i tried this, but it does not work:
 
$this = $(//dd[ul/li/a.selected]);
$this.show();
$this = $(this).parent();
$(dt,$this).css({border: 1px solid #FF});
 
 
sorry, i think i  'm in need of a good tutorial on selectors.
 
thank you for your help,
 
Alexandre

Alexandre, try this:

$(//dd[ul/li/a.selected]).prev();


I'm not sure if I understood that XPath selector correctly, but you 
could try:

$(//dd[ul/li/a.selected] ~ dt)

But I think that this one simply selects the dd element that is preceded 
by a dt which is the case anyway.

Or possibly something along the lines of

$('a.selected').parents('dd').prev()

-js
