Hi, how can I select "post" div html() by click "remove".
If I write $('post').html() select work only for first "post", but I need to select for example second or third.

//html
<div class="posts">
    <div class="post">
       Some text for first div
       <a class="remove">remove</a>
       <hr>
    </div>

    <div class="post">
       Some text for second div
       <a class="remove">remove</a>
       <hr>
    </div>

    <div class="post">
       Some text for third div
       <a class="remove">remove</a>
       <hr>
    </div>
</div>

// jQuery
$('.remove').live('click', function() {
    var postHTML = $(this).html(); // select only "a" element
});

It's work, but if I want to get second div?

The sink .find() must help with selection, if we provide all posts unique id like post1 or post2, we can use:
$('.posts').find('.post2').html();
but it's don't work!
