Re: Getting the parent ID/component from a select item?

Hi,
 
Try using the getParent() function to get the parent of a component.
 
For instance: if you have a button inside a panel, the "this" object in the (serverside) onClick event references the event. this.getParent() is a reference to the button and this.getParent().getParent() to the panel. So to get the ID of the panel you'd have to use

this.getParent().getParent.getId()
