How do i find row from cell content click?

<tr id="autogeneratedrowid_gridrow1">
    <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
    <td>
        <table id="unitprice"> 
            <tbody>
            <tr>
            <td>
            <A class=link2 id="aurogenerated" onclick="setMode(this); return false;">Edit</A>
                        </td>
            </tr>
            </tbody&开发者_如何学Cgt;
        </table>
    </td>
</tr> 
<tr id="autogeneratedrowid_gridrow2">
.....
.....
</tr>

This is my rendered html code when i click on link button setMode function is called & i m passing 'this' means link button to the function I want to find gridrow when link button is click using Jquery? I am using this

$("#" + lnkBtn.id).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent();

but this is not a right way of doing it

As your ids are autogenerated, you could do this:

$("#" + lnkBtn.id).closest("table").closest("tr");

What closest does, is to find the closest antecessor that matches the selector.

EDIT: My above solution solves your problem. But a better solution (if you can change the html markup), would be to add a class to your all your row trs, lets's say 'rowClass', like this:

<tr id="autogeneratedrowid_gridrow1" class='rowClass'>

And then your selector would be this:

$("#" + lnkBtn.id).closest(".rowClass");

Hope this helps. Cheers

you can use closeset

http://api.jquery.com/closest/

$("#" + lnkBtn.id).parent().closest('tr')

$('.link2').closest('table').closest('tr');

$("#" + lnkBtn.id).parents('tr').index());

This code will give the index of the row, hope this will help you.
