The `prev()` function doesn't take nodes other than elements into account. Also we could simplify things a lot using the `previousElementSibling` property. This property isn't fully supported in IE, it only works for elements, but since the `element` variable is an element, we can safely use it here.
I've also added an additional test.
I don't think we had this issue in v4, since we relied on jQuery back then.
