Hi,
I have a block of HTML of this form:
<div id="outer0" class="outerDiv ">
<div class="innerDiv ">
<table height="100%" id="table0">
<tr style="backgrou nd-color:#e0e0e0; height:15px;">< td
align="right">< a href="javascrip t:closeMe('/* Javascript goes here
*/');">Click Me</a></td></tr>
<!-- There may be more table rows -->
</table>
</div>
</div>
In the place where you see "/* Javascript goes here */", I would like
to put an expression that evaluates to the id of the outer most DIV,
so in this case, it would evaluate to "outer0". Does anyone know a
cross-browser JS expression that will do this?
Thanks, - Dave 10 2638

That should do it.

It won't. Consider:

<div id="innerDiv">D o you still think that
document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'div')[0]
still refers to the outer most div element

Only if the outermost div is the first in the document. Consider:
<div... </div>
<div>
<div>What is my outermost div?</div>
</div>
The following function climbs up the DOM and returns a reference to
the last div encountered. If there is no enclosing div, it returns
undefined.
function getOutermostDiv (el) {
var outermostDiv;
while (el.parentNode && (el = el.parentNode)) {
if (el.tagName && el.tagName.toLo werCase() == 'div'){
outermostDiv = el;
}
}
return outermostDiv;
}
And a test:
<div id="blah">
<div id="blah00">
<button onclick="
var x = getOutermostDiv (this);
if (x) {
(x.id)? alert(x.id):ale rt('no id');
} else {
alert('no outer div');
}

Given the HTML markup, yes, your code gives the containing div. But only
if that is the markup with no other code in the page. Life isn't always
that simple though :-)

Nah, after 10 years or so around here you start QC'ing any posted code
to see if it can be broken. If it can't, then it is a pretty good bet
that you have solid code that can be reused elsewhere instead of trying
to come up with a one-off solution. One-off solutions have a place though.

Definitely makes sense! I think maybe I will refrain from responding as much unless I
have a reusable (module) piece of code.
I remember reading once (I think on an Algebra newsgroup) that "to learn" you should "post
often, and try to answer as much as you can." That just does not hold true for this
group. I feel silly every time I provide an ad-hoc solution.
I even sit here thinking, "Man, I think this is a decent solution." When I see that it is
not I just smack myself on the forehead wondering "Why did I not think of that?"
OK, enough boo-hoo-ing. : )

Then you won't learn. You can only learn just so much before you have to
start posting code or you won't ever see what is wrong with your approach.

Don't. We all did. I did, Richard did, RobG did, we all did. Post a
potential solution. Just be prepared to have your head slammed into a
wall if you didn't think it out.
I even sit here thinking, "Man, I think this is a decent solution." When I see that it is

That's when you make a mental note to remember it next time. It's the
surest way to learning is trying. 'Tis better to try and fail than to
have never tried.

OK. I thought perhaps I might be getting on the nerves of the regulars (including

Definitely. I can handle criticism. I have a neurological disorder though, so I hope you
guys will not slam it too hard against the wall. I need all the thinking power I have
left.

Oh yeah, definitely. I have so many posts marked "watch" in my newsreader it is pathetic.
I also take the code posted and insert it in a working HTML document with notes as to who
wrote it. Like I did with this thread and RobG's code.
Be well.
