I wrote some code that modifies the images on a webpage. Works with firefox and safari. But tryingto get it to work with Internet explorer has got me stumped. What is the equivalent of parentNode in explorer? Or how does one trick it into working?

images = document.getElementsByTagName('img')

parms = {};



for (a=0;a < images.length;a++){

    parent = images[a].parentNode; // <-- What to substitute for explorer?

    parms[a] = {};

    parms[a].bigsrc=parent.getAttribute(href);

    parms[a].w_o = images[a].width;

    parms[a].h_o = images[a].height;

    parms[a].IsBig = false;

    parms[a].loaded = false;

    images[a].border=0;

    parent.setAttribute(href,javascript:MakeBig('+a+'));

}
