Say I have:
<table id="tbl_a">
<tr id="tr_x"><td></td></tr>
<tr id="tr_y"><td></td></tr>
<tr id="tr_z"><td></td></tr>
<tr id="tr_a">
<td id="td_a">
<table id="tbl_b">
<tr id="tr_b">
<td id="td_b">
<input id="myInput" type="text" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
If I do $('#myInput').parents('tr:last').before('<tr> ... </tr>')
Then the the new row appears between <tr id="tr_z"> and <tr id="tr_a"> and not between <table id="tbl_b"> and <tr id="tr_b"> like I would expect.
Did I screw up something?

The issue is that that the <tr>s are returned in the order in which
they're in the document. So the highest <tr> in the document is
returned first. So the best way to do this is by doing:
$(...).parents("tr:last")
Which will give you the last <tr> found (but the one closest to your
starting element).
