JQuery ancestor td selector with particular class

I have a problem in selecting my ancestor with particular class,

I have different tabs with different contents particular div tag will be added if it gets any validation failure 

 jQuery("table #sectionDisplay .ItemDetailContainerCell div").hasClass("error-label");

This will go very deep inside the tab so i just want get the outermost ancestor which is a td with particular name

I tried to use prevUntil,parentsUntil but no luck

I just want to get the previous ancestor until i found the td with particular class

Kindly throw some light

Regards Sathish

For getting elements in ancestor level use closest(). If you want all the ancestor levels then use parents().

For the difference between methods refer : closest() vs parents()
