Checking the "grandparent" nodeName

[Muddmuse]

What is the most efficient way to check the nodeName of a "grandparent" node?

<grandparent>
<parent>
<child/>
<parent>
</grandparent>

If <child> is the context node how do I find the nodeName property of the grandparent?

i'm doing this using the MSXML parser on IIS for ASP pages. this is a small example in VBScript of how you may be able to do what you're asking:

dim rootNode    ' doc element
dim currNode    ' node	
dim sGPnodeName ' grandparent node name

set rootNode = objXML.documentElement
set currNode = rootNode.selectSingleNode("//someNode")

sGPNodeName = (currNode.parentNode).parentNode.nodeName
