need to get rel attribute and href attribute when making a while div clickable in jquery

Question

Hey there, having some issues passing parameter values in jQuery. I need a div to open a link that opens as a Shadowbox dialog .. (Shadowbox uses the rel tag) i therefore need to get the value of both the href and rel, but cant' figure it out. i tried to just add .attr("rel") to the string but that didnt work.

My jquery:

$("div.banner").click(function() {  
     window.location = $(this).find("a").attr("href"); return false;     }); 

thank you!

I'm not entirely sure what you're after, but if you wanted to use both the rel and href attributes when building the window.location string, you'd need to do something like this.

$("div.banner").click(function() {
    var $link = $(this).find("a");
    window.location = $link.attr("href") + $link.attr("rel");
    return false;
});

... this works in that it brings whatever is the ref field into the URL string after the href. Unfortunately, shadowbox doesnt work that way, so i think i have to find an alternate method to do it. Anyway appreciate your response.
