Some javascript code to do this:

---------------8<-------------------
<script>
function enclosingDiv(node) {
  while(node && node.nodeName != "DIV") {
    node = node.parentNode;
  }
  return node;
}

function bar(self) {
  var node = enclosingDiv(self);
  if(node)
    alert(node.id);
  else
    alert("No Div node");
  return false;
}

</script>
<div id="foo">
    <div id="baz">
	<a onclick="bar(this);" href="#"><div>click</div></a>
    </div>
</div>
---------------8<-------------------

This should alert with 'baz', the nearest enclosing div.

Chris.
