I don't understand why you provided that link ? – Adil Shaikh Apr 25 '13 at 11:30
Hi thx for your replay. But the structure is actuall `
` It is a sub menu. Seems like closet('ul') does not work here. Can I use something else instead?

Looking at your structure.... `closest` should work.. can you create a fiddle to show what is the problem. – Adil Shaikh Apr 25 '13 at 11:44

Did you try it? it works on my side..:) closest("ul") will get the nearest "ul" elemenent upwards. – Jude Duran Apr 25 '13 at 11:52
