Out of curiosity, what does jQuery do in this case? Does it silently fail, die on error because it tried to use a property from a nonexistant parent, or output an explicit error slapping the author for using something that can't be done?
If it's a silent fail, it might be nice for this edge case to use the latter option so that people don't have to guess or hunt through docs after forgetting this fact. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://nadir-seen-fire.com] -Nadir-Point (http://nadir-point.com) -Wiki-Tools (http://wiki-tools.com) -MonkeyScript (http://monkeyscript.nadir-point.com) -Animepedia (http://anime.wikia.com) -Narutopedia (http://naruto.wikia.com) -Soul Eater Wiki (http://souleater.wikia.com) John Resig wrote: > Yeah, this is really just a documentation issue.
