[jQuery] Re: Finding form tag wrapping around image

[Duncan]

Thanks chaps, there is no nesting of forms, I know thats invalid. Here is
what the code looks like

<form name="SearchForm" id="SearchForm"
action="admin_ecom_product.cfm?Stage=ViewProduct" method="get"
onsubmit="return _CF_checkSearchForm(this)">

                <table> <tr class="headerrow">
                                <td colspan="12">
                                        <h1>Shop &gt; Active Products </h1>
                                        <p><img 
src="/media/pics/site/excel.jpg" name="downloadToExcel"
id="downloadToExcel"><input name="Export" id="Export"  type="hidden"
value="0" /></p>
                                </td>
                        </tr>
<!-- other form elements -->
<tr><td>
<nobr><input type="image" name="actButton"
src="/media/pics/cms/display.gif" width="62" height="16" alt="Display"
class="xButton"/></nobr>
                                        <nobr><input type="image" 
src="/media/pics/cms/showall.gif"
width="62" height="16" alt="Show All" class="xButton"
onclick="ResetSearch();document.SearchForm.ShowAll.value=1;"/>
                                        <input type="image" 
src="/media/pics/cms/reset.gif" width="62"
height="16" alt="Reset" class="xButton"
onclick="ResetSearch();document.SearchForm.ShowAll.value=0;"/>
</nobr>
                                        
                                                <input type="hidden" 
name="PageProductStatus" value="Active">
                                                <input type="hidden" 
name="ShowAll" value="1">
                                        
                                </td>
                        </tr>
</table
                </form>

Now in my js I have:
$().ready(function() {
    $("#downloadToExcel").click(function(){
        $("#Export").val(1);
         alert( $(this).parents('form').attr('id'));//returns undefined
alert( $(this).parents('form').eq(0).attr('id') );//returns undefined
    });
    $(".xButton").click(function(){
        $("#Export").val(0);
    });
});

Using sDumper( $(this).parents('form') );

I can see that length = 0,

Does it make a difference that this site is using jquery 1.2.5?
