Get Parent ID of this DIV

Question

I am looking to find the parent div id (i.e. \"Bakerloo\") from this layout when the button is clicked within \".buttonleft0\" in jquery / javascript.

Answer 1

The parent() function returns the jQuery object, so you need to use the attr() for any of it's attributes like so:

$(this).closest().attr('id');

Edit: On further inspection it appears the button isn't the direct child of the div, and so use of the closest() function would be required.
