selecting root element in jquery

Question

I need to be able to select the root element from a fragment without knowing the node types, class, id or hierachy.

Answer 1

I'm more of a Prototype guy, but I think you could get all the nodes then get the first node in the array:

$('*')[0]

Then get the child items of that (for 0a, 0b and 0c)

$('*')[0].children()
