Get owner form from checkbox in jQuery
Is there an easy way in jQuery to return the owner form for a deeply-nested checkbox (or input) element? Here's an example of what I mean:

    <form>
        <table>
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <td>123</td>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tfoot>
                <tr>
                    <td><input type="checkbox" class="checkall" /></td>
                </tr>
            </tfoot>
        </table>
    </form>

Then I have the following jQuery code:

    $('checkbox.checkall').each(function() { 
        // Access form element of the checkbox here
    });

In the above example, I would like to obtain the form to which the checkbox belongs. Natually, I could do this using a chained `parent()` method, but the checkbox might not always be the same nesting depth from the root form element.

Sorry if it's not clear, but it's difficult to explain.
