Hi, I want to get the ID value or class value of my current DIV's parent using ASP. Does anybody have any idea regarding how to achieve this? <div class="parent" ID="parent_ID"> <div class="child" ID="child_ID"> <% tmp = <ASP code to get the "parent" DIV's class/ID value> if tmp="parent" then do something else do some more thing end if %> </div> </div> Please help!!! Thanks - Jills

This looks like you're using ASP, which you said. ASP.NET replaced ASP about 7 years ago. ASP questions go in the web dev forum.

I Don't think this can be done. Theres no way of knowing the values of the ID's above in ASP3. Please correct me if i'm wrong!

Thanks senorbadger for the reply. We will get the value in client side using javascript code:

this.parentNode.getAttribute('class') But I want to do it in server side. Our website is built using ASP. :( Regards, Jills
