Parent about hickory HOT 7 CLOSED

I don't know jquery. What does that do?

Of course. When selecting a node in the tree. You can call parent on it and get its parent.
I have a use case is the page I try to get data from where one deep node got a class I can lookup but not the "parent" I want to. So I need to go down to this element and get the ascendant

Oh, OK, I see. You can absolutely do this.

Normally the select function returns a list of nodes, but you can also get a list of zipper-locs instead. You can do that by calling select-locs instead of select. Then each item in the vector that is returned by select-locs will be a zipper, usable with all of the tree navigation functions of clojure.zip. So you'd call select-locs, instead of select, and then use clojure.zip/up on each of those to get their parents. As with any zipper, you'd want to call clojure.zip/node to get the node that you can examine before looking at it.

Any news on this? You can do all other directions, child, follow and precede, but not parent. So you can currently get both A and C in (A B C) but only C in (A (B (C))).

Are you asking about a selector function? Doesn't the has-child selector do what you want?

Right. That's exactly what I was looking for. Don't understand how I missed it in the docs. Thanks!!!
