Using selectors and $(this) in Jquery Ajax response

Question

I am wondering how I use Jquery selectors within the Ajax response. My site has a feed and each main block has a unique ID, but I dont want to uniquly ID every div thats wit

Answer 1

Since the ajax is inside the click handler just do this:

$(...).click(function(){
      var $this = $(this); //<-- reference variable
      //ajax function...
      function(msg){ 

         var container = $this.parent().attr('id');   
         alert (container); //returns undefined

      }
})
