I figured out what the problem was. In fact, there were two problems:

1. The parentNode problem is triggered by having html tags not closed
properly. (The error makes sense)
2. The second error that I was getting, having to do with text-style, was
that the value that it was being given, bold, is incorrect for this style
property.
