[jQuery] is there an opposite of 'closet' selector
This selector is almost what i need
http://docs.jquery.com/Traversing/closest
except i need it to go backwards...
so i have an item selected, i need to find the closet <a> tag before
it (which is nested deep in a table layout, yuck), and the table HTML
varies on different templates
I thought .prev("a") would work, but that seems to only go "up" the
tree
