Hmm, what about:
$(function() {
var selection = $(".container");
var target = $("a:first");
while (target.parent().length && (target = target.parent()))
if (selection.filter(function(){return this == target.get(0)}).length)
break;
$(target).css('background-color', 'red');
});
That avoids the initial parents() loop, and returns immediately
without needing to filter targetParents for every container.
