I misunderstood what was actually meant by "stop climbing the DOM" and assumed he meant stop returning elements. Anyway, you're right. It won't return any of the other elements, but it *will* climb all the way up before it returns just the first match.

Hi Pete,
Yes, Sam's selector will definitely stop climbing the DOM once it
finds the first match. That's what the :eq(0) part does.
The :first selector does the same thing as :eq(0), so this would work
equally as well:
$("#myelement").parents("table:first")

Hi folks,
I'm very new to jQuery and am playing around with what is
possible.
I found myself wanting a findParent function and couldn't spot
one ready
made. I'd love it if people could give me feedback
onmyimplementation.
I'm sure there's plenty I could do better. If this function also
exists I'd
like to know where it is too. =)

{
if ($(elem).is(_selector)) return
_result.push(elem);
elem = elem.parentNode;
}
}
function _findParent(selector, includeSelf)

var thisp = _this = this;

_result = [];
this.each(find);

Actually, I thank you for the criticism. The reason that I went ahead and posted it was because it is (in reality) past a beta state in that it works and at TrimPath it's in version 1.0.14. It's in beta in my eyes because I'm porting it over from standard JavaScript and the additional jQuery functionality. I'm sure in the future this project will advance much.

[jQuery] Re: My First jQuery Plugin..... jQuery.Sheet, a spreadsheet for jQuery
Sounds like a good plugin, but may I offer a couple of suggestions? 1. Post a demo of the plugin. I don't have time to download and setup all the plugins I might potentially want to use. A quick sample takes me seconds to make that evaluation, rather than 30+ minutes to go through a setup area. 2. I don't mean to curb your enthusiasm, but I have a problem with 0.01 releases getting posted to the plugins page. As a developer looking for a solution, I'm looking for something that is at least mature enough to be considered stable. a 0.01 version is still beta (to me at least). I can't bash you tooo hard on this though - I have my own plugin posted on my site at a 0.01 version. But I wouldn't dream of posting this to plugins.jquery.com at this time. :) I'm interested to see where your plugin goes. I can see a lot of potential for a spreadsheet like grid.
