Nope. You can use parents() but that will give you *all* parents up to the <body> unless you filter() or stop it some other way (you can pass a selector too):
<div class="wanted"> <div> <span id="cat"></span> </div> </div> $('#cat').parents('.wanted') - ricardo On Dec 11, 2:01 am, Joel Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is there a better way to get a parents parent than to just do repeated > '.parent()' ??
