$('.link').click(function () { $(this).parent() }); so if you wanted to get the id of the parent <fieldset> (assuming one existed), it'd be: $('.link').click(function () { alert($(this).parent().attr('id')); }); -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
