Is there a way to write a selector that will traverse the parentage of a tag until it finds a match?
<p>It doesn't look like there's a way to do this in jQuery, but I thought I'd ask you fine folks if there's a clever work around that will let me avoid <code>parent().parent().parent()</code> . </p>

<p>I'm basically looking to accomplish something like this: <code>$('#myId').parent('li')</code></p>
