Is there a way to select a parent element based on the class of a child element in the class? The example that is relevant to me relating to HTML output by a nice menu plugin for http://drupal.org. The output renders like this:

<ul class="menu">  
    <li>  
        <a class="active">Active Page</a>  
    </li>  
    <li>    
        <a>Some Other Page</a>  
    </li>  
</ul>  

My question is whether or not it is possible to apply a style to the list item that contains the anchor with the active class on it. Obviously, I’d prefer that the list item be marked as active, but I don’t have control of the code that gets produced. I could perform this sort of thing using javascript (JQuery springs to mind), but I was wondering if there is a way to do this using CSS selectors.

Just to be clear, I want to apply a style to the list item, not the anchor.
