parentElement property
March 28, 2010
Value: Element object reference or null
Compatibility: WinIE4+, MacIE4+, Moz-, Safari-
The parentElement property returns a reference to the next outermost HTML element from the current element. This parent-child relationship of elements is often, but not always, the same as parent-child node relationship. The difference is that the parentElement property deals only with HTML elements as reflected as document objects, whereas a node is not necessarily an HTML element (an attribute or text chunk).
There is also a distinction between parentElement and offsetParent properties. The latter returns an element that may be many generations removed from a given element but is the immediate parent with regard to positioning context. For example, a td element’s parentElement property is its enclosing tr element, but a td element’s offsetParent property is its table element.
