This code gives an error "imgObj.parentNode.id has no properties:

(code)

function setSelectedElem(evt) {  
var imgObj = (evt.imgObj) ? evt.imgObj : evt.srcElement;  
// var imgObj = (evt.imgObj) ? evt.target : evt.imgObj;  
var imgObj = evt.target  
// alert("evt.imgObj = " + evt.imgObj + “.”);  
alert("imgObj = " + imgObj + “.”);  
if ( **imgObj.parentNode.id**.indexOf(“dragimg”) != -1) {  
selectedObj = imgObj.parentNode.style;  
setZIndex(selectedObj,100);  
return;  
}  
selectedObj = null;  
return;  
}

(/code)

The commented out lines were part of the original IE focused code. The alerts were my attempt to determine if the variables had values (they did). This is part of a Firefox acceptable recode of the IE code that products the results demonstrated here: [http://www.sacu.com/locations/locate.asp](http://www.sacu.com/locations/locate.asp)

Thanks in advance for your help.
