Thanks for the heads-up. I did use nextUntil, but did not know that page was there -- contains some useful info.

jQuery 1.2 looks to have a prevUntil() function planned.

There's a sample for nextUntil there... copy it and change it for your
needs?

It would help if you put up a skeleton page somewhere to demonstrate the

Good point. Unfortunately, I can't do that right now, but here's a skeleton of 
the issue:

<h2 id="h2a" class="h2">Heading 2a</h2>
   <h3 id="h3a" class="h3">Heading 3a</h3>
   <h3 id="h3b" class="h3">Heading 3b</h3>
<h2 id="h2b" class="h2">Heading 2b</h2>

In this case, I'd like to be able to do the following:
   1] From #h2b, get the previous level 2 header (should return "#h2a"). Note, 
this does not work: ('#h2b').prev('.h2')
   2] From #h2b, get the previous level 3 header. (should return "#h3b").
   3] From #h2b, get the first level 3 header from the previous level 2 header (should 
return "#h3a").

Note, that this is a 'clean' sample. The real scenario has plenty of other DOM 
objects between header levels.
