[jQuery] Re: get top most parent

$(#header2).children(p.submenu); or $(#header2).find(.submenu); or make use of context: $(.submenu, #header2); - read that as all items with class of .submenu under the #header2 object. The #header2 part can be a selector, DOM element, or jQuery object. HTH Shawn Liam Potter wrote:

i managed to get the top most parent regardless which menu item is clicked using this code $('#ID_HERE').parents('div.menu_body').prev($('#ID_HERE').parents ('div.menu_body').size()-1)
