I need to get an element from its id, something along the lines of this:

    $(this).parent().hasId('foo')

How can I accomplish this using jQuery?

$("#idofelemnt") - make sue of id selector that is will resolve issue...

if($("#idofelemnt").length == 0)
 alert('element not exists');
else 
 alert('element exists');

or in your case 

 $(this).parent("#idofelemnt").length

I hope you want to get element object from his id. Simply use $('#elementId') for getting that element object.
