If $(this) resolves to the HEAD then parent() will resolve (i believe) to the HTML node, to which you are prepending an IMG, which of course is illegal. The way to avoid that is to use a legal path to the element which you want to add the IMG to. Without seeing your code i can't say much more than that. :?
