Hi everyone, I have a lot of tables, like this: <table id="stuff1"><tr><td>lorem</td><td>ipsum</td></table> <table id="stuff2"><tr><td>lorem2</td><td>ipsum2</td></table> I want to loop through all td:s and select the id of the parent table. What is the best solution for that? $('table td').each(function(){ // select the parent table id here $('parenttable').attr("id"); }); Best regards, Christoffer
