This Javascript code gives a “imgobj has no properties” in second line “if” statement in Firefox:

function setSelectedElem(evt) {

var imgObj = (evt.imgObj) ? evt.imgObj : evt.srcElement;  
**if (imgObj.parentNode.id.indexOf(“dragimg”) != -1)** {  
selectedObj = imgObj.parentElement.style;  
setZIndex(selectedObj,100);  
return;  
}  
selectedObj = null;  
return;  
}

I am trying to convert this code to work in Firefox that currently only works in IE.
