How to select div whith jquery from inside another div

Question

so I have this html:

 <div>
 <div>
 <a class="member-img" href="#" >
 <img src="image.jpg" alt="member">
 </a>
 </div>               
 <div class="member-bar">
 </div>
 </div>

and i try to select "member-bar" when the user hovers "member-img"

 $('.member-img').hover(function(){ $(this).closest(".member-bar").slideDown() });

but it doesn't seem to work, any help for this code ?

Answer 1

member-bar would need to be a parent of member-img in order for that to work. You need to first find the parent, then find member-bar as a sibling:

$(".member-img").hover(function() {
  $(this).parent().next(".member-bar").slideDown();
});

Here's a fiddle for the above code
