Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm trying to come up with a reusable JS or jQuery function that would allow me to test if one object is a DOM descendant of another. I've seen a model of testing for $b.parents('nodename').length>0 Which is fantastic when you only need to check if an element is a child of any node by that name. But what about a specific node? You can't test $b.parents($a).length>0 Because jQuery parents takes a nodename expression as an argument to filter. As a little background, I'm trying to test if a document click event's target is a child of a specific object. For instance, if the event.target is a child of $b, return true, otherwise, return false. But this function could have other implications later on. Thanks!
