[development] Drupal way of doing onchange

[Jamie Holly]

That isn't even valid - having the <div> not inside a <td> or <th>. That 
could lead to problems, but you might want to try:

$("#{field_id}").parent().prev('.generalclass');

Like I said it might not even work considering the markup you are 
showing is invalid in HTML and XHTML.

If for some reason you missed the <td></td> surrounding the div then try 
this:

$("#{field_id}").parents('td').prev('.generalclass');
