// returns [ div.child ]
  
 
 

  

   $( "span.subchild" ).parent();


logs [object Object], which doesn't surprise me as I'm used to getting that (though I don't remember the 
reasons behind it), but I'm wondering if there's any way I'm suppose to actually be able to read 
   
[ div.child ] on the console. (I recall reading somewhere that JSON might be able to do that, 
but I've never used JSON before and didn't necessarily want to dive in until I get a better grasp of jQuery/Javascript.)

Thanks.
