[jQuery] Problem traversing up list
Hello there, after too much sarching I have almost give it up with the following. I have a list with another list nested: ul li id=item1Item 1 ul li id=item1-1 Item 1 - 1 /li li id=item1-2 Item 1 - 2 /li /ul /li /ul Let's say I know the ID of item1-2 or item1-1 how can I get the id of the li (item1)? I have tried with: alert($('#item1-1').parentNode().id) But it gaves me an error, maybe just because it is an aberration...
Re: [jQuery] Problem traversing up list
It returns an empty string, so it alerts, but nothing... I will show you all the code: First I get the id of the element via URL with the URL param plugin: (It works, if I do an alert it returns the right stuff) var target = $.url.param(target); alert($(#+target).parent().attr('id')); This alerts nothing !! --- On Fri, 11/27/09, Michel Belleville michel.bellevi...@gmail.com wrote: From: Michel Belleville michel.bellevi...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [jQuery] Problem traversing up list To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Date: Friday, November 27, 2009, 11:10 AM You don't need to use .parentNode() (vanilla DOM) but .parent() (jQuery flavor). Then you can access any attribute using .attr(). So instead try : $('#item1-1').parent().attr('id') This should tadaaa.

Re: [jQuery] Problem traversing up list
Well, that must mean that the parent has no id, which is exactly the case : ul li id=item1Item 1 = $('#item1-1').parent().parent() ul = $('#item1-1').parent() li id=item1-1 = $('#item1-1') Item 1 - 1 /li li id=item1-2 Item 1 - 2 /li /ul /li /ul Or you can do this in a better way : $('#item1-1').parents('li:first').attr('id') Michel Belleville 2009/11/27 ximo wallas igguan...@yahoo.com It returns an empty string, so it alerts, but nothing...
