.(prevAll('span:has(input,select,textarea)')

[anonymous]

In this case, prevAll returns elements "in order of the DOM" instead of "in order of closest to element"

Example:

    <div> Works Correctly:
        <span>One</span>
        <span>Two</span>
        <span>Three</span>
        <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="alert($(this).prevAll('span').first().text());">test</a>
        <span>Five</span>
        <span>Six</span>
    </div>
    
    <div> Doesn't Work Correctly:
        <span><input />One</span>
        <span><input />Two</span>
        <span><input />Three</span>
        <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="alert($(this).prevAll('span:has(input,select,textarea)').first().text());">test</a>
        <span><input />Five</span>
        <span><input />Six</span>
    </div>
