The HTMLElement.offsetParent
read-only property returns a reference to the element which is the closest (nearest in the containment hierarchy) positioned ancestor element.
A positioned ancestor might be:
td
, th
, table
in case the element itself is static positioned.If there is no positioned ancestor element, the body
is returned.
Note: offsetParent
returns null
in the following situations:
display
property set to none
.position
property set to fixed
(Firefox returns <body>
).<body>
or <html>
.offsetParent
is useful because offsetTop
and offsetLeft
are relative to its padding edge.
An object reference to the element in which the current element is offset.
