$.parentsUntil matches partial class names

[anonymous]

Consider structure:

<div class="foo">

<div class="fooBar">

<div id="awol"></div>

</div>

</div>

$('#awol').parentsUntil('.foo'); won't match the outernmost .foo but the inner .fooBar element.

The description for  http://api.jquery.com/parentsUntil/ says:

Get the ancestors of each element in the current set of matched elements, up to but not including the element matched by the selector, DOM node, or jQuery object.

... but not including ...

So yes it did find the outermost parent, but per its documented behavior did not return it in the matched set.
