afaik, parentElement is part of the MS DHTML DOM, not the standard W3C DOM.

Moving components to get confirmation on this, but I think you should be using 
parentNode instead.

This may be okay. My copy of DYNAMIC HTML from O'Reilly says that parentElement
is  specified by DOM level 1, but I can't find it in the spec from w3c.org. I
tried parentNode in my code instead, and it worked.
Yep, parentElement is an MS Extension, we don't support it. Marking INVALID,
thanks Mike!
