I know this has been asked many times before, but I could not find anything that worked. I will need to add a class to a div that gets autogenerated over my ul.
This is my html code:
<div class="wrapper">
<ul id="bx-pager">
<li><a><img></a></li>
<li><a><img></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
I need to add a second class to div class "wrapper", but after what I have tried I can't get it to work. I would be nice if someone can help me out with this simple task, but showing me how to do it. I don't have much experience with jQuery, but need it now.

Reset to default 6You can use the JQuery parent selector:
$('#bx-pager').parent('div').addClass('newClass');
In pure javaScript
this.parentElement.classList.add('newClass');
Updated
const myElement = document.querySelector('#bx-pager');
myElement.parentElement.classList.add('new-class');
.new-class {
background-color: tomato;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<ul id="bx-pager">
<li>
<a><img></a>
</li>
<li>
<a><img></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Its simple find parent and add new class. You can use following code to find any parent and add new class.
$(this).parent().addClass('newClass');
Since you specified that you are new to query: here is the link to the working example.
