Width of the parent container with jquery

How can I set "DOP_ThumbnailGallery_Container开发者_Go百科" to have the width of the parent container

$('.DOP_ThumbnailGallery_Container', Container).width($(Container).width());

I tried this way /\ but it doesn't work, it gives the width of the window;

I even tried to have the outer container with overflow hidden, but it breaks it!

Or something like ...

$('#object').width($('#object').parent().width());

Have you looked at the parents function of jquery?

You can do something like this:

$('.DOP_ThumbnailGallery_Container').width($('.DOP_ThumbnailGallery_Container').parents("div").width());
