parentNode.remove() not working in IE

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...).

The link that I use to close the box looks like this:

<a onClick="parentNode.remove()" class="close">X</a>

Is there a way that I can tweak my onclick to work in Internet Explorer?

Thanks a lot!

remove(); is a jQuery method. Are you using jQuery? If so, you could do: $(this).parent().remove();.

I don't know if this is just an example, but I would recommend creating a single function instead of adding individually.

$('a').on('click', function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  $(this).parent.remove();
});
