jQuery：parent（）方法的等效选择器

Question

What I want to do is select an element by id, find one of its parents, and finally select a different child of that parent. I can already do that like this:

$('#id').parents('.class1').find('.class2');

However, I need to be able to do this using a single selector. For example:

$('#id parents .class1 .class2');

Is there an equivalent to the parents() method using just selectors?

Answer 1

Your question is really about CSS at this point, and parent selectors aren't available in CSS.

Based on your comment above, why not set your element to a variable?

var myEl = $('#id').parents('.class1').find('.class2');

widget(myEl);
