Hi Karl, Thanks for your interesting alternative approach.
On my side I was trying to set a jQuery variable using the argument that was passed to the function. But something seems broken if we don't use jQuery from the very beginning for the selection. $.tmp = caller; alert($.tmp); // displays "object HTMLInputElement" alert($.tmp.parent()); // Does not work. alert($.tmp.parentElement); // displays "object HTMLLIElement, but impossible to go further with find(), a.s.o.
