How to access this attribute using jquery, given a div defined by this

I have included a simple jsfiddle to illustrate my difficulty:

http://jsfiddle.net/7HCyS/

I wish to access the itemid attribute of this:

<td itemid="1488324">
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width:88px">
<div class="twitter-tweet" style="width:22px; height:22px;"></div>
<div class="facebook-post" style="width:22px; height:22px;"></div>
</div>
</td>​

I can’t lookup itemid using jquery directly, I have to start with

 $('.facebook-post')

and go from there. I have been advised to use the parent method but it isn’t helping me, any ideas?

Answer 1

$('.facebook-post').closest('td').attr('itemid')
