Hi Chris,
Someone wrote an ancestorsTo() plugin a while back. There was some
talk about changing its name to parentsUntil() and including it with
nextUntil() in a single plugin. Not sure who wrote the plugin
originally, but Dave Methvin refers to it here:
Would this be a candidate for addition to the core possibly?
The ancestorsTo looks like it's an up-the-tree analog of the nextUntil
method for siblings that was discussed here a while back. I think the
general consensus on that was that there would be an extended
navigation
plugin rather than add all these to the core. Maybe they should be
named
ancestorsUntil and siblingsUntil for better consistency?
Also, since this is a modifying plugin it should use pushStack() to
allow
the use of .end() to get back to the previous selected nodes. I
think the
end result would be something like this, untested:
jQuery.fn.ancestorsUntil = function(match) {
var a = [];
jQuery(this[0]).ancestors().each(function() {
a.push(this);
return !jQuery(this).is(match);
});
return this.pushStack(a, arguments);
};
Hope that helps.

Hi there,
How would I select the first ancestor of a certain type? Eg if I
want to select the first div that is found while searching up the
DOM from an element.
Cheers,
Chris
