Selecting an element within an element with different ID names or class name in jQuery

I have an unordered list that has tables in it. The list also uses an image which when clicked on should hide the table. I have the following jQuery code, but it is not working:

$(".glyphicon-remove").click(function () {
        var tblId = $(this).attr("id");
       // alert(tblId);
       var ans = confirm("Are you sure you want to remove this table?");
       if(ans == true)
        $("#" + tblId).hide();
    });

and the list used is as follows:

<ul class="sortable">
            <li class="ui-state-default"  id="first"><span style="float:right;"class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span><br/>




            <table class="rounded-corner">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th></th>
            <th>Product</th>
            <th>Details</th>
            <th>Price</th>
            <th>Date</th>
            <th>Category</th>
            <th>User</th>
            <th>Edit</th>
            <th>Delete</th>
        </tr>

Try this:

$(".glyphicon-remove").click(function () {
    var tblId = $(this).attr("id");
   // alert(tblId);
   var ans = confirm("Are you sure you want to remove this table?");
   if(ans == true)
    $(this).siblings('table').hide();
});

You can use:

var tblId = $(this).parent().attr("id");

instead of:

var tblId = $(this).attr("id");

since you want to get the id of li element not span with class glyphicon-remove
