<HTMLDivElement> has no method 'siblings'

Question

Im trying to change a sibling of a div element and this is the statement i used

$('.edit').click(function(){
    this.siblings('.innerInfo').html("success");
});

It keeps throwing the <HTMLDivElement> has no method 'siblings' exception, and i really cant figure out why. I've initiated jQuery and ive started the script on document.ready

thanks for your help!

Use $(this) instead of this.
