Question : Select an element Jquery.

Hello,

Take a look at this code

<li id="2">
   <span>
          <a class="delete" href="#">Delete</a>
   </span>
</li>


onclick of the a.delete I want to grab the li's id in to a variable using jquery. I tried this.


var mid=$(this).parent().attr("id");

but as you can see it selects the span tag,

any idea?
