Does an alternative to .closest() exist?
javascript, jquery
Solution
`$('p').parents('div:first')`
should do :)
Problem
this is a snippet from my code: ``` $("#myid").append($("p:contains('text')").closest("div").clone()); ``` I tried to get the first closest ancestor div-element of p containing 'text'. I'm looking for an alternative to .closest() because I have to use jquery version 1.2.6. Do you have got an idea what I'm looking for? I hope you can help me. I appreciate every hint, piece of code, etc..
