（this）.parent（）。find无法在ajax调用中获得响应

Question

$(".content-short").click(function() {
      $(".content-full").empty();
      var contentid=$(this).parent().find(".content-full").attr('data-id');
      var content=$(this).parent().find(".content-full");
      alert(contentid);
      var collegename = $(this).attr('data-id');
      $.ajax({
          type: "post",
          url: "contenthome.php",
          data: 'collegename=' + collegename,
          dataType: "text",                  
          success: function(response) {            

            $content.html(response);
          }
      });
    });

here the alert displays the specific data-id but

content=$(this).parent().find(".content-full");

this didn't displays data in content-full div with that specific data-id anything wrong in the code or something else?

the query displays data if i use(."content-full"); instead of

$(this).parent().find(".content-full");

Inside the ajax callback you are using $content , but you declare your variable as content . May that be the problem? Your question is not clear. What are you trying to achieve?
