previously I coded $(this).parents().add(this) inside a bind('click' function...
then continue the chain to look at 'me and my parents' on 1.1 the chain only has the parents, this did not get added. when I break it up , with an .end() and continue the chain, it brings 'me' back to the chain, and I have to each thru this separately. What did I miss? $(this) .attr("target","elsewhere") .parents() .prev('code.json') .each(jsonize) .end() .end() .prev('code.json') .each(jsonize) works, but $(this) .attr("target","elsewhere") .parents() .add(this) .prev('code.json') .each(jsonize) does not. -- Ⓙⓐⓚⓔ - יעקב ʝǡǩȩ ᎫᎪᏦᎬ _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
