Yep, XPath will take you up the dom and down again but you'll still need to
use a method to get to the next row.
An advantage of Blair's example is that by using .parents() we do not have
to know how deep 'this' is within the TR. If the link is definately a child
of the TD then you could use something like:
$("../..", this).next().find("td:eq(" + $("..", this).index() + ")"
).doYourThing()
(There may be a more concise way to get the desired td!)
