Hi,

I am trying to find the closest ancestor whose id begins with "childrenTOC".   
I am invoking the function within the onclick handler of the element with class 
"toggleStrike".  Previously, I was given this code

$(this).parents("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); 

but that seems to return an arrray of elements, and I just want the closest 
one.  Here is the HTML in question ...

        <div id="childrenTOC10" style="display:block">
        <div id="toc11" class="tocItem10-0" style="display:block; 
margin-left:10px">
                <div style="display:block"><table>
                        <tbody>
                                <tr>
                                        <td><a id="openClose164" 
class="openClose" href='#' onClick="javascript:toggleTOCItem('childrenTOC11', 
'childrenTOC10', 0);"><img name="imgchildrenTOC11" src="images/tree_open.gif" 
alt="" border="0"></a></td>
                                        <td style="text-decoration:none" 
id="item164" class="title1">Unit 1: Our Land and First People</td>
                                        <td><a class="readMore" 
href='#'>Read</a></td>
                                        <td><a href='#' 
class="toggleStrike">Remove</a></td>
                                </tr>
                        </tbody>
                </table></div>

Thanks, - Dave
