Description
The documentation says that $closest() is similar to $.parents() but stop at the first parent found.
But $('.item').closest('.item') return itself...
I've tried various versions with jsFiddle.
see this test : http://jsfiddle.net/x6tnS/
The docs are actually quite clear about the behavior:
The description at the top is "Get the first element that matches the selector, beginning at the current element and progressing up through the DOM tree."
There's even a table listing out the differences between
.closest()and.parents()with the first one being that.closest()"Begins with the current element".
