-    <p>Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the <code>.parent()</code> method allows us to search through the parents of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements.</p>
-    <p>The <code><a href="/parents/">.parents()</a></code> and <code>.parent()</code> methods are similar, except that the latter only travels a single level up the DOM tree. Also, <code>$( "html" ).parent()</code> method returns a set containing <code>document</code> whereas <code>$( "html" ).parents()</code> returns an empty set.</p>
