CSS Selector-How to locate Parent Element

Question

Is there any way to locate parent element in CSS Selector? i am using below code but i am not getting the parent element.

WebElement we=dr.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[id='gf-BIG']:parent"));

I know there is a way in XPath but please let me know that how we can locate parent in CSS Selector.

Answer 1

Referring to the Is there a CSS parent selector? topic, there is no parent selector in CSS. Leave the "getting the parent" part to the XPath:

WebElement we = dr.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[id='gf-BIG']"));
WebElement parent = we.findElement(By.xpath(".."));
