what's the right syntax to get the current node's parent node's name? I know it's about the AxisName parent but what's the right syntax? for example of the following xml
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2" location="file:/dev/null" iosp="lasp.tss.iosp.ValueGeneratorIOSP" start="0" increment="1"> <attribute name="title" value="Vector time series"/> <dimension name="time" length="100"/> <variable name="time" shape="time" type="double"> <attribute name="units" type="String" value="seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00"/> </variable> <group name="Vector" tsdsType="Structure" shape="time"> <variable name="x" shape="time" type="double"/> <variable name="y" shape="time" type="double"/> <variable name="z" shape="time" type="double"/> </group> </netcdf> for the element variable I should get netcdf or group. Thanks in advance.

To get the parent node name and other properties of an HTML element, we can use the . parentNode attribute. Every html element has parentNode attribute that holds the data of the parent node.
Hey Hemant, we can use the double dot (“..”) to access the parent of any node using the XPath. For example – The locator //span[@id=”first”]/.. will return the parent of the span element matching id value as 'first.
A Node that is the parent of the current node. The parent of an element is an Element node, a Document node, or a DocumentFragment node.
Use:
name(..) The .. abbreviation is a shorthand for parent::node().
Do note: Not every parent has a name. For example the document node (/) is the parent of the top element (/*) of the document and has no name.
