jquery explanation please

[Mike]

I have been reading w3school jquery tutorials and I not sure to use append or add,but what I want to achieve is putting an image in the thread list description. I want the same image for all tr in the list.I have my code below can someone please explain to me how to set this up?
$(document).function(){
   $('div.container.threads > div.content.cap-bottom > table.list > tbody > tr.thead').append(pb.plugin.get('thread_description_images').settings.image_url;
                                                                                              }

you are appending just the url. if you want to append an actual image you need to append an image element:

.append($('<img src="'+pb.plugin.get('thread_description_images').settings.image_url+'">'));

Ok I made changes and I can't seem to get the image to show.
It now looks like: (BTW I'm in the js part)


$(document).function(){
$('div.container.threads > div.content.cap-bottom > table.list > tbody > tr.thead').append($('<img src="'+pb.plugin.get('thread_description_images').settings.image_url+'">'));
}

Any Idea why?

none of the > needs to be in there. but also tr.thead doesnt exist.
