I want to get a DOM element with jQuery but i want to only look backwards in the DOM.

So suppose i have the following HTML structure:

```
<div id="content">
    <div id="first-module" class="module">
        <h3>Some Module</h3>
        <p>Lorem ipsum... </p>

        <div id="some-other-content">
            <div id="second-module" class="module">
                <h3>Some other module</h3>
                <p>Dolor sit amet...</p>
                <button class="trigger">Trigger 1</button>
            </div>
        </div>

        <button class="trigger">Trigger 2</button>
        <div id="third-module" class="module">
            <h3>Another module</h3>
        </div>
    <div>
</div>

$('.trigger').click(function() {
    // Traverse DOM to find closest .module class
});

```

So when i click on the `Trigger 1` button i want it to find the `div` with ID `second-module`.

When i click on `Trigger 2` i want it to find the `div` with ID `first-module` and **not** `second-module`, because it's nested deeper than the `Trigger 2` button is.

Is there a jQuery function for this?
