Morning, I have a question for the jquery group.
My question is - what's the best way to get a single parent element of the current object. Right now I have an html table with multiple rows. In the first TD of each row I have a select list (a dropdown). I have a select() event attached to the option list and when the user selects an option the background color for that row (TR) is changed. (well, actually all TR backgrounds are changing right now that's why I'm writing everyone). So, the only problem I'm having is getting the single parent TR. Right now my update statement is updating every TR in the table versus just the parent. The code is something like this: $("../../../../tr",this).addClass("assigned"); The "this" is the select element. Even if I do use an indexer on this statement like this $(...)[0] - the problem there is the system currently doesn't know the index of the row it's on. So I can either add the index in a hidden value or I thought maybe there's an easier way of doing this via JQuery. Thx for your help. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
