We'd really need to see your HTML code, but if you want to get the parent of
an object.
Let's say you have HTML code like this:
<div>
<p>
<b>this is my paragraph</b>
</p>
</div>
You want to get the immediate parent of all P tags:
$('p').parent();
or you want to get a div that is a parent higher up in the chain:
$('p').parent('div');

Hello, i've been writing javascript for a while now. So, as you can imagine
I am struggling just a bit. I browsed a few of the beginner tutorials and
didn't see what I was looking for. I understand that methods like .is or
.hide are special to the jquery library and you can't access these using
regular DOM elements. But I don't want to type
$(this.parentNode.parentNode) every time I want to do something to it.
Assigning var target = $(this.parentNode.parentNode); still doesn't let me
use jquery methods against target.
Can someone point me in the right direction here?
