Good morning. I drink some more coffee to compensate the stress with this Javascript/jQuery problem.
basically its the opposite thing of this question: Determining child index in it s parent
The actual HTML (DOM)
<body>
<div id="content">
<div class="contentbox">
<div class="content">
<h2>Image Gallery Header</h2>
<div class="imageGallery">
<div class="image">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="prevImg"><i class="sx028"></i></a>
<ul>
<li id="g2i1">
<img src="imgs/imageGallery1.jpg" alt="" width="505" height="298" />
<p>Image Caption...</p>
</li>
<li id="g2i2">
<img src="imgs/imageGallery2.jpg" alt="" width="505" height="298" />
<p>Image Caption...</p>
</li>
</ul>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="nextImg" title="nächstes Bild"><i class="sx029"></i></a>
</div>
<div class="thumbs">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="prevImg"> </a>

</ul>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="nextImg"> </a>

Thank you for reading that big pile.
Pseudo JQuery
$(".nextImg").click(function() {
var activeGallery = $(this).parents(".imageGallery").index();
alert("You ve clicked the next image button of image Gallery #" + activeGallery);
});
Result (alert message)
You ve clicked the next image button of image Gallery #1 <-- if you clicked the ".nextImg" button of the ".imageGallery" with the index(); of 1
You ve clicked the next image button of image Gallery #2 <-- if you clicked the ".nextImg" button of the ".imageGallery" with the index(); of 2
Question:
How do I "climb" up the parents of class="nextImage" to an element div class="imageGallery" and response the index of the div class"imageGallery" ?
Its really important for the last step of my gallery project. Thank you for any response!
