[jQuery] Re: How to find a parent

Hmmm...after looking at the docs, it would seem
"parent" would be more appropriate since Kim is
looking for the first parent of the link '#cancel'.

Why would you think it should be "parents" which
would return more than the first parent.

Am I misunderstanding something?

It should be .parents

$(this).parents('div.popup:first')
