Documentation bug in parent()?
in Using jQuery
•

I noticed the following in the documentation for parent() at http://api.jquery.com/parent/
It seems that the first sentence is actually describing the parents() API method, and not the parent() method.
Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the
.parent()method allows us to search through the parents of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements.The.parents()and.parent()methods are similar, except that the latter only travels a single level up the DOM tree.
