easy, try something like this:
$("#someElement").parent("tr").doSomething();
That would select the first 'tr' element that is above #someElement.

Hi there,
How would I select the first ancestor of a certain type? Eg if I want to
select the first div that is found while searching up the DOM from an
element.
Cheers,
Chris
