title: Get parent DIV of HREF in jQuery
body: <p>I need to get the parent div of the hyperlink clicked. In the example below, this would be <code>'.link-container'</code>. However, <code>this.parent</code> or <code>this.parents</code> does not work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>jQuery('.link-container a').live('click', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  alert(this.parent);
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to get this?.</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
  John</p>
