<div id="demo">
<div class="moduletable">
<div class="demo">
<div class="demo-wrap">
<div class="container" id="button-1">Button-1 contents</div>
<div class="ctrl">
<div><a href="#buttton-1">Button-1</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
jQuery
$('ctrl').click(function(){
$(this).closest('.container #button-1').width();
// how to select the class container first and then its id that is button-1}
Edit
<div class="container" id="button-1">Button-1 contents</div>
<div class="container" id="button-2">Button-2 contents</div>
<div class="ctrl">
<div><a href="#buttton-1">Button-1</a>
</div>
</div>
How can I get container width as its id if one button is pressed it should alert button-1 width and if another it should alert button-2.

Please try this
$('.ctrl').click(function(){
alert($(this).prev(".container").attr('id'));
});
To find the width:
$('.ctrl').click(function(){
alert($(this).prev(".container").width());
});

Try
$(".ctrl").on("click",function(){
alert($(this).parent().parent().find('.container').attr("id"));
Hope it helps you

You can find it as the previous sibling:
$(this).prev(".container")
Then grab it's id:
$(this).prev(".container").prop("id");
edit: To get it's width:
$(this).prev(".container").width();
