[jQuery] Re: Selector help

[Charlie]

you can't use "this" in same manner as tagnames, ID's or class as a selector in combination with other selectors the way you are attempting. try: h1Height = $('this').siblings('h1').height(); Warfang wrote: 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?
