[jQuery] xpath selectors

[jQuery] xpath selectors

In the examples for Xpath, the "preceding-sibling" selector is used.  This does not seem to work for me.  Also, is "following-sibling" supported?  (I looked at the source, in $.g, but neither of these appeared there.)
the xpath example
<pre>$("//div/preceding-sibling::form")
</pre>did not work for me.
I would like to select the <li> immediately preceding a <ul>
(This would be handy for all sorts of things like menus, map legends, etc....)
