Use JQuery to select parent element of “this” (element clicked)

Question

I have a jQuery script that creates a carousel to rotate images left and right on user click. At first, I wasnt planning on putting more than one carousel on a single page, but

Answer 1

Since your action tags are nested in the first level inside the carousel, you can do this inside each function to know were it belongs :

var parent = $(this).parent().get(0);

Will actually get you the parent object, which you can now use.
