Check if ID equals
<p>I need to remove a class from all table cells when an element's parent has a particular ID.</p>

<pre><code>$(".closethis").click(function(){
    var $this = $(this).parent().parent();
    if ($this.attr("id") == "mainArea") {
        $("#myTbl").removeClass("myClass");
    }
});
</code></pre>

<p>I do need to check for ID because this is part of a function and if ID is not equal to this value it is probably for another case. </p>

<p>Looks right but it does not seem to work. Am I missing something? </p>
