jQuery: appendTo parent

Question

I can\'t seem to get the appendTo to work. What do I do wrong?

$(\'div:nth-child(2n) img\').appendTo(parent);

Current markup:

&         


        

Answer 1

The following should suffice:

$("div>img").each(function(){
    $(this).appendTo($(this).parent());
});

See it working here: http://jsfiddle.net/EtxqL/

You can't infer each item's parent from the 'selector' parameter to appendTo(). The only way to do what you want is to loop through the items, appending each one to its parent. Check out the APIs in the following link.
