Maybe something like:
$('.colorPick').change(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass('assigned');
});
where colorPick is the class assigned to your select menu.
You could also use:
$('.colorPick').change(function() {
$(this).parents('tr').addClass('assigned');
});
but my gut tells me that's not quite as efficient, as it will look
for 'tr' elements all the way up to the top of the DOM tree.

Morning,
I have a question for the jquery group.
My question is - what's the best way to get a single parent element of
the current object.
Right now I have an html table with multiple rows. In the first TD of
each row I have a select list (a dropdown).
I have a select() event attached to the option list and when the user
selects an option the background color for that row (TR) is changed.
(well, actually all TR backgrounds are changing right now that's
why I'm
writing everyone).
So, the only problem I'm having is getting the single parent TR.
Right now my update statement is updating every TR in the table versus
just the parent.
The code is something like this:
$(../../../../tr,this).addClass(assigned);
The this is the select element.
Even if I do use an indexer on this statement like this $(...)[0] -
the
problem there is the system currently doesn't know the index of the
row
it's on.
So I can either add the index in a hidden value or I thought maybe
there's an easier way of doing this via JQuery.
Thx for your help.
