Question

If I had the following code and the user was to click the delete button, using jQuery, how would I get the name of the group about it (Test Group in the example below)? And in case any one wonders, it’s because I want to display a confirmation box with the name of the group that is about to be delete in it.

<td class='title column-title'>Test Group
    <div class="row-actions">
        <span class='delete'>
            <a id="single-delete" href="?page=permissions-options-eidtor&action=delete&action_role=test_group&role=&paged=2&message=3">Delete</a>
        </span>
    </div>
</td>

Answer 1

$('#single-delete').click(function() {
   $(this).parents('.column-title').text();
});
