children() only works for direct children of an element, so if your img is wrapped in an <a>, it won't find the right element.
Try using find() instead: $("li.clickable").hover(function() { $(this).find("img").attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split ("_off").join("_over")); }, function() { $(this).find("img").attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split ("_over").join("_off")); }); On Aug 25, 5:05 pm, wheatstraw <psurr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks but it doesn't seem to work... > > <li class="clickable"><img src="http://localhost/wrt-demo/images/ > projects/boxes/13_off.jpg" alt="Abuja Master Plan" /> > <p > class="entryText"><a href="http://localhost/wrt-demo/projects/detail/ > Abuja-Master-Plan/13">Abuja Master Plan</a></p></li> > > $(".clickable").hover(function() { > $(this).children("img").attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split > ("_off").join("_over"));}, function() { > > $(this).children("img").attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split > ("_over").join("_off")); > > }); > > This works but not what I was trying to achieve: > $(".clickable img").hover(function() { > $(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split("_off").join > ("_over"));}, function() { > > $(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split("_over").join > ("_off")); > > }); > > On Aug 25, 10:52 am, Liam Potter <radioactiv...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > It's because you have targeted the image as the hover area rather then > > the li, use this instead > > > $("li.clickable").hover(function() { > > $(this).children("img").attr("src", > > $(this).attr("src").split("_off").join("_over"));}, function() { > > > $(this).children("img").attr("src", > > $(this).attr("src").split("_over").join("_off")); > > > }); > > > Hover over the li, then get the child element within the context of > > 'this' to perform the actions to it. > > > wheatstraw wrote: > > > What I want to have happen is when you hover over the li it: > > > 1) allows you to click the who area (this works) > > > 2) The image swap. > > > > Right now the image will only swap when hovering over the image not > > > the rest of the li. > > > > Any help would be appreciated! > > > > $(document).ready(function(){ > > > $('li.clickable').css('cursor', 'pointer').click(function() { > > > window.location = $('a', this).attr('href'); > > > }); > > > > $("li.clickable img").hover(function() { > > > $(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split("_off").join > > > ("_over")); > > > }, function() { > > > $(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split("_over").join > > > ("_off")); > > > }); > > > });
