[jQuery] Re: Using the title attribute if images as captions

As a development on this thread, I've changed my code to the following
based on someone else's comments, but I still can't get it to work (by
the way, the $j is in there as part of a method to avoid conflict with
Joomla's Mootools library - I'm building this site in Joomla).

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? The caption isn't appearing?

Thanks,

osu

// Create caption from title attribute for images with
class="imgcaption"
$j('img.cright').each(function(){
var caption = '<p>' + $j(this).attr('title') + '</p>';
$j('img.cright').wrap('<div class="captionwrap"></div>');
$j('div.captionwrap').append(caption);
});

$j('img.cleft').each(function(){
var caption = '<p>' + $j(this).attr('title') + '</p>';
$j('img.cleft').wrap('<div class="captionwrap"></div>');
$j('div.captionwrap').append(caption);
});
