Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a DOM element with an ID similar to: something[500] which was built by my Ruby on Rails application. I need to be able to get this element via jQuery so that I can traverse my way up the DOM to delete the parent of it's parent, which has a variable ID that I don't have access to beforehand. Does anyone know how I could go about this? The following code doesn't seem to be working: alert($("#something["+id+"]").parent().parent().attr("id")); Upon further inspection, the following: $("#something["+id+"]") returns an object, but when I run ".html()" or ".text()" on it, the result is always null or just an empty string.
