如何使用jQuery获取事件目标的父级？

Question

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.

Answer 1

要访问父级，您可以执行以下操作：

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

Answer 2

To retrieve an element from an inline link's target, it may be better to use the hash attribute of target, thusly:

(function($) {
    parent = $(event.target.hash).parent();
})(jQuery);

And btw, instead of alert, you can get much more information using console.log with either firefox/firebug or chrome.
