7,626 PointsWhat is the answer to parentOfDiv question?
The question is: In the code below, the constant div contains a reference to a DOM element. Select its parent node and store that in the constant parentOfDiv.
const div = document.querySelector('div');
const parentOfDiv =
and I try to complete the question with div.parentNode; but it says my answer is incorrect. I tried 5x already and making sure punctuation and capitalization are correct.
What is the answer? This is the old community post, I think my answer should've been correct? https://teamtreehouse.com/community/how-to-select-a-parent-node-and-store-it-in-a-constantdiv
