My JQuery is pretty bad but I’ve managed how to figure out how to grab the alt text of an image and apply it as a data-attribute to the parent figure.

What I cannot figure out is how to iterate through multiple figures / images and update accordingly.

I think it has something to do with each but it’s beyond me at the moment.

My basic JQ function:
```
(function($) {
    var newTitle = $("figure > img").attr("alt") 
    $( "figure" ).attr("name", (newTitle) );  
})(jQuery);
```
Codepen

Any assistance would be appreciated.

For my own understanding, Mottie, your first example selects the parent and then gets the attribute of the child to then apply to this (the parent), while your second example begins with selecting the child and then applies the attribute to the parent?

That’s the way I read it.

It’s nice to have options…. :)
