Get Parent ID of this DIV

Question

I am looking to find the parent div id (i.e. \"Bakerloo\") from this layout when the button is clicked within \".buttonleft0\" in jquery / javascript.

Answer 1

alert($(this).parent().id);

If you want to be sure to select correct class, try:

alert($(this).parent('.div').id);

If you have a deeper hierarchy you can use:

alert($(this).parents('.div:eq(n)').id);

where n is which parent you want to get
