If there is as little control over the markup as is implied then a
more generic solution might be applicable (untested!)?
function updateQuote(el){
//$('form') could be cached, and may not need to store parentForm...
var parentForm = $('form').filter(function(){
var i = this.elements.le
With markup as invalid as that, it's no surprise that elements are not where
you expect them in to be in the DOM. A FORM element can't be sandwiched in
between a TABLE and TR like that. So the browser tries to turn this into
something it can work with. It may shuffle things around, or just put up

Ok, I tried this:
$(elm).parents().map(function () {
alert(this.tagName);
});
but the FORM never shows up. Reason is because the source looks like
this:
ok, i'm not sure if this is the easiest way, however, this is how I
got the form action in the following HTML:

What if the first parent is not a form (like it could be a label or
div)? and also, I would like to avoid using the "name=something" just
because the name could change without me knowing it.
Thanks for the help.

Also, i'd rather not "commit" anything i.e. using "name=blah" in case
the name gets changed. without me knowing.

jQuery is even easier than that. You can remove the need to put your
onchange inline like so:
var formAction = null;
$("select[name=some_name]").change(function() {
formAction = $(this).parent().attr("action");
});
This binds the anonymous function to set the variable formAction, to the
