Description
Here's a sample of a case I encountered in development.
<head>
<script src=" http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){
var firstText = $("#testId").text(); var secondText = $("#testId").parent().prev().text(); alert(firstText+", "+secondText);
});
</script>
</head> <body> <ul>
<li>Bar</li> <ul>
<li>Things</li> <li id="testId">Stuff</li>
</ul> <li>Baz</li> <ul>
<li>Text</li> <li>Misc</li>
</ul>
</ul> </body> </html>
=========================================== In latest Firefox, Safari, Opera, the alert is "Stuff, Bar", but in IE6 this is "Stuff, ". It's like the DOM structure for IE6 is somehow different for nested ULs. Didn't have IE7 handy, but that would be something to check as well.

The top <ul> has some children <ul>'s. That's illegal html.
