hi i need to access the id element of a div, but s the only info i will have will be the td id so it will look like

[code=html]<div id=”divid”><table><tr><td id=”tdid”></td></tr></table></div>[/code]

now i need to access the div id. i know there is a way to access different elements in xml with parents, siblings, and stuff like that. any idea how i can get that id attribute with just the fact that td id=”tdid”?

while ((obj=obj.parentNode).tagName != "DIV"){};

alert(obj.id); // DIV ID
