id, and making an element in Internet Explorer "grab" all the Element

Maybe FF supports method getParent directly, IE have not this method.

hi list,
I found this piece of code works different in IE6 and firefox3.5:
function hook(el) {
// var sub_id = $('sub_id'); // use this will ok in two
browsers
var sub_id = el; // if use this, next line will fail in
IE6, but
works in firefox3.5
var el2 = sub_id.getParent();
alert(el2);
return false;
};
<input type="submit" id="sub_id" onclick="hook(this)" value="click"/>
though at last I find out use "var sub_id = $(el)" also work,
but could someone give me a describe on this problem ?
thanks!
