title: parentNode.remove() not working in IE
body: <p>First of all, I'm very new with all that JavaScript stuff. I'm using parentNode.remove() to close a modal box on my site. Works perfectly in Firefox and Chrome, but nothing in IE (8-9-10-11...).</p>
  
  <p>The link that I use to close the box looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a onClick="parentNode.remove()" class="close"&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way that I can tweak my onclick to work in Internet Explorer?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!</p>
