How to select an element's parent and the parent's siblings

Question

I have this code:

$(\"#test\").siblings(\'p\').remove();
$(\"#test\").remove();

How can I chain this code instead of writing it separately?

Answer 1

I have to agree with the comment on the question; for readability and maintainability, use andSelf:

$("#test").siblings('p').andSelf().remove();

Unfortunately, it's been deprecated. But if you're stuck on an older version of jquery like we are, it may be worthwhile.
