Oops, my mistake, Dave... thanks for the light! :-) About these methods you quoted: they really seem interesting for this use, I agree. I'll study them and make a benchmark, because it may indeed be faster to use a pre-compiled comparison method using directly two elements than doing a down-up traversing until I find the 'html' element...
By the way, I started a little project for doing jQuery benchmarks for its parts (not to do library comparison, like jQuery VS Prototype VS etc, but comparison between different ways to accomplish the same task using jQuery). The code is still a big mess, because it started as a benchmark for JavaScript 1.6 Array methods implementation VS jQuery ones VS hard-coded implementation using Mozilla's algorithmns, but I promise I'll organize all the code! Here it is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jqbench/ Thank you, guys!
