I have a really simple problem.

How can I find the first previous element of another element? I tried the code below without success.

HTML:

<div class = A>HERE</div>



<div class=B>

    <div class=C style=width:50px;height:50px;background-color:#000000;></div>

</div>

JS:

$('.C').click(function() {



        alert($(this).closest('.A').html());



});

If you are trying to get the preceding sibling, use .prev().

If you are trying to get the sibling of the parent (like in your example) use .parent().prev().
