I have a table where each row has a CSS id like this:
<table>
<tr id='1'>...</tr>
<tr id='2'>...</tr>
<tr id='3'>...</tr>
</table>
In a row, a user can click on a particular element within a cell. I want to find the row that has been clicked on.
So for example:
<tr id='x'><td></td>...<td><div class='someclass'><div class='anotherclass'></div></div></td>...</tr>
In this case, I want to respond when the user clicks on a class='anotherclass' element. I want to get the id of the row containing this clicked element but I don't want to use $(this).parent().parent().parent().... etc. because there are multiple levels of parentage and it gets ugly.
Is there a way to get the row containing this element with using .parent() multiple times?
UPDATE: Thanks everyone. That is perfect.
