Why doesn't my String/selector concatenation work?

Question

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work:

var cfHTML = '<div class="touch-feild" onclick="showPreview('+$(this).find('.feed-thumb')+')"></div>';

I get an "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier"

Hope someone can help me out here. I guess it must be a pretty simple question :-)

Thanks

Answer 1

It think what you want to accomplish is onclick="showPreview($(this).find('.feed-thumb'))" in your .

var cfHTML = '<div class="touch-feild" onclick="showPreview($(this).find(\'.feed-thumb\'))"></div>';

$(this).find('.feed-thumb') will give you jquery object not string.
