  getting hold of the element holding a document  From: Ian

Message-ID: <3D247597.5030205@hixie.ch> To: www-dom@W3.org  An
<object> in XHTML can contain another XHTML document. In the
DOM, to go from  the containing <object> element's object to the
embedded document, one uses the  HTMLObjectElement object's
contentDocument property.   From that document, though, how does
one get back to the HTMLObjectElement  object? There's no
|parent| property on Document objects, and since documents  are
defined as being the root of the document tree, |parentNode| is
no use.  Even non-standard DOM properties like |window.parent|
don't really help here,  since that gives access to the parent's
window (and from there the parent  document) but not the
containing element.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. If
this can't be done, it would be cool  if it could be added to
