Prototype up() Method
Returns element's first ancestor (or the index'th ancestor, if index is specified ) that matches cssRule.
If no cssRule is provided, all ancestors are considered. If no ancestor matches these criteria, undefined is returned.
Syntax:
element.up([cssRule][, index = 0])
|
Return Value:
- Found HTMLElement.
- undefined in case it does not find any element.
NOTE: element.up() and element.up(0) are equivalent.

<html>
<head>
<title>Prototype examples</title>
<script type="text/javascript"

</script>
<script>
function showResult(){
alert( "1 : " + $('fruits').up(1).innerHTML );
alert( "2 : " + $('mcintosh').up('li').innerHTML );
alert( "5 : " + $('fruits').up(99) );
