That should do it! Thanks! :)

Then it looks like you want
$(childObj).parent().prepend('div id=result_messageResult
Processed/div');
That will get you the 1 immediate parent of that element.

If I do the following I end up with every single DIV all the way up
the document chain being prepended with the content instead of its

childObj.id + ')')
$(msg_selector).prepend('div id=result_messageResult Processed/
div');
What this is used for is that when a link is clicked it sends AJAX
data. If the data was processed remotely it is supposed to show a
simple success message at the top of the parent DIV it is located in.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Perhaps
you want to provide some more context if I'm not getting it?

For instance, the following selects too many parents:
$($(childObj).parent().get(0).tagName + ':has(#' + childObj.id + ')')

[jQuery] Re: Selecting the ancestor of an element
If I do the following I end up with every single DIV all the way up
the document chain being prepended with the content instead of its
immediate parent:
var msg_selector = $($(childObj).parent().get(0).tagName + ':has(#' +
childObj.id + ')')
$(msg_selector).prepend('div id=result_messageResult Processed/
div');
