This snippet gets the parent of an element by using the parentNode property of the element.
The following code gets the parent node of the element with the id main:
const current = document.querySelector('#main');
const parent = current.parentNode;How it works:
- First, select the element with the CSS selector #main
- Then, use the parentNode property to get the parent element of the selected element.
