The main reason is that not everyone comes from an XPath/XML background - it's the same reason why there's .find() and not .descendants(). It's like 4 extra bytes to include .parents(). Back when we were originally planning out the names for this feature, there was a definite tension between using XPath-style verbage versus 'english' words. I think this is an acceptable compromise. --John ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
