Question

Assume I select an element using $(mySelector). I would like to select the closest heading to it, so if the closest heading element to it was an <h2>, it would select that, but if the closest was an <h3>, it would select that instead. How can I do this?

Answer 1

The comma in selectors means “or”. So you may do this :

$(mySelector).closest('h3, h2')

This will return 0 or 1 element, the closest if more than one match.
