</div>

function (attribute, value) {
    var obj = $(attribute).length;//obj = 1
    var objID = $(attribute).prop('id'); //objID = clientcontactphone-0-0-number
    var parent = $(attribute).closest('div.item_client_contact_phone'); //[object Object]
    var parentLength = $(attribute).closest('div.item_client_contact_phone').length; //0
    var inputCity = $(attribute).closest('div.item_client_contact_phone').find('input[city]');  //[object Object]
    var inputCityVal = $(attribute).closest('div.item_client_contact_phone').find('input[city]').val(); //undefined
//  return true;
}

Мне нужно получить значение соседнего input-а, я так понимаю .closest() не находит почему то элемент div.item_client_contact_phone?
