I use jQuery's event object to get the target's parent. The code is:

event.target.parentElement

In Chrome it works, but in Firefox, it doesn't. I use alert() to print the output.

event.target is an URL in both Chrome and Firefox; but event.target.parentElement in Chrome is [Element object], and in Firefox it is null.

What should I do to solve this problem? I still wonder if IE will have this problem?

Thanks.

To access the parent, you could do:



var par = $(event.target).parent();
