Or possibly something along the lines of
$('a.selected').parents('dd').prev()
-js

hello!
i guess i'm not too good in finding my way upwards in the DOM tree.
I have a structure like this:
dl#navigation
dl#navigation > dt
dl#navigation > dd > ul > li > a.selected
dl#navigation > dt
dl#navigation > dd > ul > li > a
dl#navigation > dt
dl#navigation > dd > ul > li > a
/dl
all ul are hidden but the one containing the selected a. I need to access
that specific *dt* element.
i tried this, but it does not work:
$this = $("//dd[ul/li/a.selected]");
$this.show();
$this = $(this).parent();
$("dt",$this).css({border: "1px solid #FF0000"});
sorry, i think i 'm in need of a good tutorial on selectors.
thank you for your help,
Alexandre
