Delete row using button dropdown inside table

All

On the table we have a dynamic drop down menu that is generated for the last column on each table row

"<ul class=\"dropdown-menu\">" +
     				  	' <li><a class="btnDelete">Delete</a></li>' +
     				  "</ul>" +

In the js we have

$(".btnDelete").live('click',function() {
		var sData = oTable.fnGetData( this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode);
		
	});

When this fires the table does not return the row that the button was clicked from? Does anyone have an example of this?
