Jquery going crazy

[TheFilmGod]

		// Grab parent .group as variable
	var parent = $(this).parents('.group:eq(0)');

	// Count all checked checkboxes within the parent
	$(parent + ' input[type=checkbox][checked]').addClass('hidden');

 

It seems like jquery grabs the parent object just fine but then hiccups up an error when I use the "parent" object to select all of its input children.

 

What am I doing wrong?

$(parent + ' input[type=checkbox][checked]').addClass('hidden');

 

 

You can't string together a jQuery object and a string....

 

 

How about:

 

$(this).parents('.group:eq(0) > input[type=checkbox][checked]')

 

 

At least I think you're trying to grab the first child of the parent with the class group and then find all checked checkboxes.

 

(You could also use sibling instead of parent.)
