Question

I have the following HTML:

<div class="outter">
....
  <div class="container" rel="identification" >
    <h4> <a href="#" href="www.test.com"> </h4>
  </div>
....
</div>

And I have some jquery code that looks like:

$('.outter').delegate('.container a','click', function()
{
  //If $(this) is the a element, how can I get the rel attribute of the granfather div?
}

If it is possible without making it dependent with the h4 parent, just in case someday changes for h3, for example.

Answer 1

$(this).closest('div.container').attr('rel');
