Selectors are strings, including the special operators. So your select should look like this:
'this + h1'. What you have there just concatenates the two strings
together making your selector 'thish1'

Subject: [jQuery] Selector help
I'm pretty new to Javascript/ jQuery, so this is really bugging me.
I'm trying to get the height of an h1 that is a sibling to this. The
value for the variable h1Height, however, returned as null in the
console in Firebug. Perplexed, I tried console.logging ('this'+'+h1')
to see what it was interpreted as. It brought back this+h1, which
should select an h1 adjacent to this (which is a div).
Javascript
h1Height = $('this'+'h1').height();
What went wrong?
