Hi Dave,
Not sure if this has been answered yet, but here is how I would do it:
$(this).parents('#inner')
Or, if you don't know what the DIV will be called, you could try it
this way:
$(this).parents('div:eq(0)')

Hi,
If I have a "this.id" reference to an element in my DOM, how would
i get its parent node?
More challenging, how would I get the first DIV node that the
element is in? That is, it may be nested within an arbitrary
number of table cells, but there is a DIV lurking at the top ...
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">
<table>
<tr><td>
<table>
<tr><td><!-- here's the element -->
In the example here, I would like to get a reference to the DIV
with ID = "inner".
Thanks, you guys are the best, - Dave
