This doesn't do it for me. I got the Button itself as a result.
var parent = $(this).parents('div.parent');
Is this not the same as to say: "Select element (of 'this') which parent is
'div.parent' " ?
I think I need the other-way around, don't I ?
Something like ... "Get me the element, which class is 'parent', which has
'this' children.
