It returns an empty string, so it alerts, but nothing...
I will show you all the code:
First I get the id of the element via URL with the URL param plugin:
(It works, if I do an alert it returns the right stuff)
var target = $.url.param("target");
alert($("#"+target).parent().attr('id'));
This alerts nothing !!

You don't need to use .parentNode() (vanilla DOM) but .parent() (jQuery flavor).
Then you can access any attribute using .attr().
So instead try : $('#item1-1').parent().attr('id')
This should "tadaaa".

Hello there, after too much sarching I have almost give it up with the
following.
I have a list with another list nested:
<ul>
<li id="item1">Item 1
<ul>
<li id="item1-1">
Item 1 - 1
</li>
<li id="item1-2">
Item 1 - 2
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Let's say I know the ID of "item1-2" or "item1-1" how can I get the id of the
li (item1)?
I have tried with:
alert($('#item1-1').parentNode().id)
But it gaves me an error, maybe just because it is an aberration...
