JQuery: Closest div that has an ID

Question

How would you write the Jquery to get the closest div that actually has an ID defined?

Answer 1

You should use has attribute selector. This sample should do the work:

$('selector').closest('[id]')

Answer 2

$(elementToStart).parent().closest('div[id]');

I use the parent() to avoid just getting the element itself.
