The condition of finding the object in the parent

Please tell me how to do the following: I upload ajax images and add them to the div

$("#imagesPlaceholder").append(imgs); 

by clicking on the picture, the class selimg is assigned to it, and then by pressing the button they append into a div with the class selected.

This option does not work

 if ($(imgs).parents(".selected")) { $(imgs).resizable(); $('.ui-wrapper').draggable({ containment: 'parent' }); } 

Thank you in advance
