I was just thinking, it might help if the docs were clarified a bit as
regards the parents() method. It could say something like "returns
all matched ancestor elements in the order from innermost to
outermost" or something along those lines.
Example:
<div id="1">
<div id="2">
<div id="3">hello!</div>
</div>
</div>
$("#3").parents() will return [div#2, div#1]
Maybe that's obvious to some folks...
