$('#' + obj.id).parent().find('.section-secondary').length;
Yes...that is what basically ended up going the trick. I needed to be
a bit more specific. What I realized was that I didn't need the
entired of the particular ul group because each subgroup indicates the
'section-secondary'. Confusing...now it works perfectly.
Above, I'm just checking to see if the result (length) is more than
zero...
Many thanks!

What about $('li.active').parents(ul).find(.whatever)?

I have this list structure and when the page loads I reveal the active
page...all the other pieces are revealed when you click. Everything
works great except this one detail.
I need to run a check (a filter?) to see if the active list element
exists in a 'secondary' list (nested ul). If it does, I need to
activate another piece of code to display the secondary list titles
(and this is working as well). Just need to run a check so I know when
to run this extra code.
I can get the parent of the active list element and even the html
within it no problem...but I actually need to go up an additional
parent or two (ul's) so I can get the code for the entire section and
then filter to see if it is in fact it has the secondary pieces. This
is the list...
ul id='section-id-16' class='section-menu'
li class='section-title section-primary'span class='blank-title'
id='t2'// Editorial/span
ul
li class='section-title section-tag section-secondary'span
class='blank-tag'Secondary List Title/span
ul
li class='section-page active'a href='/newby-layout/'Newby Layout/
a/li
li class='section-page'a href='/notes/'Notes/a/li
li class='section-page'a href='/qs-for-dan/'Q's for Dan/a/li
li class='section-page'a href='/project/print/testing-
formats/'Testing Formats/a/li
/ul
/li
/ul
ul
li class='section-title section-tag section-secondary'span
class='blank-tag' id='Herewerare'Herewerare/span
ul
li class='section-page'a href='/newest-year/'
class='herewerare'Newest Year/a/li
/ul
/li
/ul
Etc...
I've tried $('li.active').parent() and $('li.active').parents() (and
tons of variations) but I just can not get the html beyond the first
parent. I'm not showing the full index here...it's quite long...but it
does validate and check out just fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
