### Original Question:
[How can I quickly find the relatively positioned HTML parent element of an absolutely positioned child?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29218330/how-can-i-quickly-find-the-relatively-positioned-html-parent-element-of-an-absol?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa)
I am working with the following code:
```markup
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
...
<div class="absolute">Lorem ispum</div>
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.absolute {
position: absolute;
}
```
Using Chrome's DevTools, I'd like to be able to quickly find which parent div element has position: relative, so I can know which parent element is determining the origin point of my absolutely positioned element. I can manually inspect each of the divs to find the first parent that is set to relative but I'm working with a deeply nested tree, so I'm wondering if there is a faster way to find the parent I'm trying to find. A Javascript snippet for the console would be an example of a suitable solution.

### How To:
1. Open the inspector and select the element. In the console, it's now defined as $0.
2. Switch to console view and type or paste `$0.offsetParent;`
