I think you can make your code a bit simpler and not use the .each (function(). It depends on rest of the HTML whether it works or not. Something like this: $('tr.myclass').parents('table').parents('table').css("border", "4px black solid"); Rgds Paul On Dec 11, 9:04 pm, Guy <g...@epicsky.com> wrote: > OK, > > Figured it out and am posting this for anyone who may have this > question later on. > > Here's what I used: > > $("tr.myClass").each(function() { > $(this).parents("table").slice(1,2).css("border", "4px black > solid"); > > }); > > Hope that is helpful to others. > > Guy > > On Dec 11, 12:13 pm, Guy <g...@epicsky.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > I'm having a dilemma where I need to style the table which encloses a > > table with a row which has a style attached to it. > > > The source looks like this. > > > <table> > > <tbody> > > <tr> > > <td> > > <table> > > <tbody> > > <tr class="myClass"> > > etc. > > > I want to be able to directly access the first table tag to style the > > entire table with a border.
