Thanks. I just figured that out here but was wondering if there was a better way to code it.

The only other suggestion I can think of would be:<br />
<br />
$(this).parents(&quot;tr&quot;).next<wbr />()<br />
<br />
(note the s on parents)
</div>


The only other suggestion I can think of would be:

$(this).parents("tr").next()

(note the s on parents)

<br />
Note, that the method <u>parent</u> is different than <u>parents</u> (with s). <u>parent</u> will only return the first ancestor of an element, but <u>parents</u> will return all ancestor without the root element.<br />

What is the syntax to use jQuery parent() and next() functions together to traverse table rows. <br />
<br />
I have a table with an image in the first celll of all of the odd rows which I want to use as a trigger to expand the corresponding next row. So from the image element, I guess I want to traverse up two parents (td and tr) and then get the next tr in the table.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.
