I could do a test, but discussion seemed like it might turn up something else...
.parents(expr) supports an expression to filter parent elements,
e.g.,
.parents('.getme') // returns all parents with class getme
the $(expr) in general allows any css (or xml) selector. Does expr
extend this way in parent(expr) to retrieve all <li> children under a
parent? e.g.,
.parents('.getme > li')
as a shortcut for
.parents('.getme').children('li')
