getSelectedNode is a deprecated alias for the parentElement method. You 
should use the latter name when calling it.

According to the thread you indicate getSelectedNode had some problems but 
they were all fixed. If you think there are further problems with the 
implementation of parentElement then what you should do is write a unit 
test which indicates the behaviour you are expecting and which passes on FF 
but not IE.

[When I say the problems were all fixed, I mean fixed for IE. Unfortunately 
two of the relevant tests still fail for opera.]
