That isn't even valid - having the <div> not inside a <td> or <th>. That
could lead to problems, but you might want to try:
$("#{field_id}").parent().prev('.generalclass');
Like I said it might not even work considering the markup you are
showing is invalid in HTML and XHTML.
If for some reason you missed the <td></td> surrounding the div then try
this:
$("#{field_id}").parents('td').prev('.generalclass');

Might have worked if the label were encased in <label> tags, but it's
really ugly...like this
<tr>
<td class="generalclass">labeltest</td>
<div>field</div>
</td>
</tr>
don't know why it was done that way. I tried prev("td"),
prev("td.generalclass") and prev("tr") ... nada
