This should work:
$('div.image p').width($('div.image p').prev().width());
Although I am not sure why $(this) would not work; perhaps someone else will
know why?

I've got a number of pictures with captions that will be floated
right in the main body text. The HTML looks like this:
<div class="image">
<img src="myimage.jpg" width="250" height="350" alt="Image
description">
<p>A caption for the image</p>
</div>
Because the images will vary in width, I don't want to hard-code the
width into the stylesheet. But I don't want the caption ever to be
wider than the image.
So I tried the following:
$('div.image p').width( $(this).prev().width() );
In theory, this should set the width of the caption paragraph to the
same as the width of the image preceding it; but it doesn't work.
What have I done wrong?
