jQuery: selecting grandparents

jquery, jquery-selectors

Solution

You can use the `parents()` method which matches parents against a selector

http://api.jquery.com/parents/

Or if you're using 1.4 there is a new `parentsUntil()` method

Problem

Is there a better way to select grandparent elements in jQuery in order to avoid this ? ``` $(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().children(".title, .meta").fadeIn("fast"); ``` Thanks.
