adding jquery onto a link

I'm having some trouble adding a javascript variable onto the end of my link here's my code

var locid = $.trim($(this > '.locid').text());

$(this).prepend('<a class="booknow2" href="../../availability/default.aspx?propid=' + locid + '"><span>Check availability &raquo;</span></a>');

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Jamie

To get a direct child when you already have another element, use .children(), like this:

var locid = $.trim($(this).children('.locid').text());

You can't really use $(this ...anything), you can however use $(this).something(), and that .something() could be any of the tree traversal functions to move around.
