I have a big div wit a lot of smaller divs within it. Say,

    <div id="parent">
 <div id="child1">
 </div>
 <div id="child1">
 </div>
 <div id="child2">
 </div>
 <div id="child1">
 </div>
 <div id="child1">
 </div>
</div>

If I'm currently at the last 'child1', how dow I get to the top most child1 with prev()? For me it breaks when it reaches 'child2'.
