I've been using .closest() quite a bit... like for checking for language attributes
jQuery(element).closest('[lang]').attr('lang'); Automatically scoping .closest() to some implicit context element (other than <html>) seems like a change that would break tons of code that handles such use-cases. However, adding a second context parameter to .closest() sounds like a great idea IMO. -- Már --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
