Yes, it works and your explanation of it is pristine. Thanks a lot.
To be more accurate, i found out that it actually returned several (see below)
of the preceding siblings, so i fixed it by adding :last.
Maybe something is amiss: i have 5 <li> in my list. If i select the previous
sibling(s) with your selector when the active <li> is the 2nd or 3rd, all the
previous ones are returned.
However, if the active one is #4 or #5, only the 2 first <li> are found (in
other words li #3 and #4 are not included in the array).
(This was tested on Safari)
PS : Just seeing Sam's reply: yes, it works too! Great!
PPS: apologies if the message isn't correctly placed in the thread, i can't
"reply" at my workplace.
