[jQuery] select only the father

[jQuery] select only the father


Hi everyone,
I'm getting in trouble with this problem,
I have several divs which contains an image, and another div. we can
imagine somethin like that :
<div class="container">
<div class="img">...my image...</div>
<div class="delete">delete</div>
</div>
What I want to do is, when I put the mouse over the div Delete (and
only this one), I want to change the background of the
entire .container div.
here is my code :
$(document).ready(function(){
//action when the mouse is over :
        $(".delete").mouseover(function(){ // I select the .delete divs.
//now i want to change the bg color of the
entire div, but only this div. here is my problem
            $(this+':parent').css('background-color','red');
//with this selection, I select ALL the parents,but
I want only the father..
        })
//action when the mouse is out
            $(".thumbdelete").mouseout(function(){
                $(this+':parent').css('background-color','white');
            })
})
Your help would be very greatful.
Thank you very much in advance.
