[jQuery] Getting parent nodes
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
