[jQuery] Selecting previous elements

[jQuery] Selecting previous elements


Hi all,
here's my situation :
<ul>
<li>A</li>
<li>B</li>
<li>C</li>
<li>D</li>
</ul>
I've got $(this) containing the jquery object of element <li>C</li>
I would like a jquery selection of previous elements and current
element included, in other words I would like [A, B, C]
What is the fastest way to accomplish this ?
I was thinking about $(this).parent().find("li").lt(X)
but X would be the index of current element (C) and I don't know how to get it.
Besides, I'm sure there's a faster way I'm not yet aware of.
Thanks for you help.
