Sorry, I tested with .eq(0) instead of .get(0) which returns the pure DOM
element instead of a jQuery magic-array wrapping the element.

If you don't need all the parents, use .parents('div:first') or
.parents('div').eq(0) as you've found out it's the jQuery way.
I may even be so bold as to add you might like to try
.closest()<http://docs.jquery.com/Traversing/closest>which is quite
handy to find "the closest matching element this included".
Have fun.
