dynamically retrieve the parent element info

Hi there,

I was wondering if I could dynamically retrieve the parent element info....

Is there anyway to retrieve the parent li's id when user clicking any links below? for example, if click the 1st "#" it returns 'myli1', 2nd '#' returns 'myli2'

something like.....

function clickHandler(event)
{
$(this).parent().attr('id');
}

Thanks
