hi Ricardo!
in fact i removed all code that was out of the realm of this issue, to
not make you guys read 50 lines of codes.
i keep the hasClass() suggestion though !
i don't understand why parents().is(':not("") does not work though. I
wonder if there isn't a bug because it used to work before, with
jquery 1.2.6. Maybe the switch to sizzle provoked it. I'll have to
investigate to confirm that.
thanks!
