I plan to assign an image inside one of the tables (inside a table) as a control to do something with the parent DIV. Easy enough, it seems, and yes, I do have a snippet that works, but.. er, it looks frigging hideous! I have this line for instance, to alter the width of that div... this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.style.width = x; I imagine you'll all agree that a string such as this doesn't seem very elegant, does it? I'd love to find that there's some hack like parentNode[9] or something, but that doesn't seem to work for me. Does anyone know how this all works, and offer a variant I could use? I'm trying top avoid using "id"'s for every object, as there may end up being many of these beasts written into one page. TIA! I'm off to keep digging for the answer myself, but would love some help if you can give it.
