带有特定类的jQuery祖先td选择器

Question

I have a problem in selecting my ancestor with particular class,

I have different tabs with different contents particular div tag will be added if it gets any validation failure

 jQuery("table #sectionDisplay .ItemDetailContainerCell div").hasClass("error-label");

This will go very deep inside the tab so i just want get the outermost ancestor which is a td with particular name

I tried to use prevUntil,parentsUntil but no luck

I just want to get the previous ancestor until i found the td with particular class

Kindly throw some light

Regards Sathish

For getting elements in ancestor level use closest() . If you want all the ancestor levels then use parents() .

For the difference between methods refer : closest() vs parents()
