I can see value in traversing the DOM upwards though -- I'll think of am implementation. There was a Dojo bug report about making query work backwards, perhaps something in there would be useful ... definitely something to think about. in the plugd source I implemented a simple .parent() function (in trans.js iirc), but am unfamiliar with the jQuery idea of what parent() and parents() are, so haven’t gone any further than just returning a list of parentNodes for a passed list.

THere is one other missing API I get asked about a lot from jQuery - parents(). Is there a way I do not know about to search for a node, once found look for an arbitrary ancestor? For instance find some tag in a table and then easily get a handle to it's first parent? I like this. THere is one other missing API I get asked about a lot from jQuery – parents().
