plugin devs should remember: Never use $ inside your plugins. Always use
'jQuery'. The reason is that '$' can be changed by the user for support with
other libraries.

I wrote a method that will provide a list of ancestors for any number of
generations until an ancestor matches the expression. Example:

BODY
  DIV
    UL.myClass
      LI
        UL
          LI #myId

$('#myId').ancestors()
returns [UL, LI, UL.myClass, DIV, BODY]

$('#myId').ancestors("UL.myClass")
returns [UL.myClass]

Returns all elements up to and including the match expression
$('#myId').ancestorsTo("UL.myClass")
returns [UL, LI, UL.myClass]

Code:
jQuery.fn.ancestorsTo = function(match) {
        var j = $();

        var b = false;
        $(this[0]).ancestors().each(function() {
            if (b == false) {
                j.add(this);

                if ($(this).is(match)) {
                    b = true;
                }
            }
        });

        return j;
    };


Cheers,
