    Hi nagar,

    The parentNode API is used to return the parentNode of the element.The syntax is

    _parentNode(element, tagname[, occurrence]);

    for eg:
    In <div id="div1"><a href="">aElement</a></div>

    _parentNode(“DIV”, _link(“aElement”)), is used to return the immediate "Div" parent node of _link("aElement") element,the div element with id "div1".The occurence 1 returns the immediate parent node(div1) and if the occurence is 2 returns the parent node of _div("div1") element.

    Regards,
    Theeran.
