Get all ancestors up to X

Question

Given: X -> B -> C -> D -> Child I want jQuery to return all ancestors up to the first node that matches some selector.

jQuery $(Child).parents(X) will return only X as opposed to X, B, C, D. I know I can use parent() to build this array manually, but is there a better way?

Answer 1

Oops. Found it: $(Child).parentsUntil(X)
