Using jQuery closest and parents, you can set or get the first or all ancestor element that matches the selector and traversing up through its ancestors in the DOM tree.
The ancestor may be a parent, grandparent, great grandparent, and so on.
For example:
$("div").closest("p").css({"color": "red"});
If it doesn’t match the selector, then it will continue traversing up the document, parent by parent until the element is found which matches the specified expression.
If no matching element is found, then none will be returned.

For example:
$("div").parents("p").css({"color": "red"});
