jQuery: get parent, parent id?
jquery
Solution
$(this).parent().parent().attr('id');
Is how you would get the id of the parent's parent.
EDIT:
$(this).closest('ul').attr('id');
Is a more foolproof solution for your case.
Problem
``` <ul id ="myList"> <li><a href="www.example.com">link</a></li> </ul> ``` How can I get the id of the ul (myList) using jQuery? My j-script event is triggered when the a link is clicked. I have tried: ``` $(this).parent().attr('id'); ``` But it gets the id of the li, I need to go one higher, and I cant attach the click to the li either.
