[jQuery] Retrieving the parent of a cloned element

[voltron]

I am cloning a set of elements, one of these elements is a button that
would delete this set of elements when clicked on. My problem is that
I cannot successfully bind a function to the button that does the
deleting

// JS code

 $("#add_activity").click(function(){
           var maxCount = [1,2,3,4,5];
           var suffix = maxCount.shift();
            $
('#activity_container').find(".delete").livequery('click',
function(event) {
                alert($(this).attr("id"));
                 $(this).parent().remove()
            });

           $
('#activity_value0').clone().find("[id]").andSelf().each(function() {

              $(this).attr("id", $(this).attr("id") + suffix);
              $(this).attr("clone", suffix);
          }).end().end().appendTo('#activity_container')
     }); // end click


// the HTML looks like this

<div class="activity_container" id="activity_container">
<div id="activity_value0">
        <select name="activity" id="activity">
                <option value="0">Option 1</option>
                <option value="1">option 2</option>
        </select>
 <input name="delete" type="button" value="" class="delete"
id="delete_activity">
</div>


Thanks!
