Excellent. Funny it seems like such a common task when you think about it
though I've never needed it before and given the verbosity of the solution it
seems not many other people have need it either :-P
Anyways thanks again you saved my sanity.
James.

Subject: [jQuery] Re: Is A Child Of?
My first thought was to try these and neither worked
$(b, a).length
a.find(b).length
Also, no luck here
$(b[0], a[0]).length
a.find(b[0]).length
In the end this is the one I could get to work
$(b).parents().filter(function() { return this === a[0]; }).length

Hi,
This is probably a really easy question an I apologise if it appear
stupid but I am clueless right now. Given 2 jQuery objects (a,b) how can I
tell if b is a child of a?
