I am trying to retrieve the parent of an element's parent (grandparent?). I want to find that grandparent, then find a tag in that element, then store that text as a variable to publish elsewhere on the page. I've been trying to use the parent() function but without success.

Here's the code I tried:

    $('.mixPlayCell a').click( function() {
        var title = $(this).parent().get(0).parent().get(0).text();
        alert(title);
    });

Thanks!
