How to get the "parent" element with GWT

Question

Say I have html part in my GWT application: ```

Homepage
News
Products
General Sales T&C
Job Opportunities

``` And I am able to get the AnchorElement, say for the HomePage: ``` @Inject @DataField Anchor home; ``` How can I get the List `li` element? Is it: `home.getParent(); // which returns a widget` ? Then cast it to a `UListElement` ? Is that it? Update: My main goal is to set the id of the `li` element to "tray-active", so when anchor item is clicked the "parent" `li` element is set to to "tray-active"

Accepted Answer

Need not to cast any thing.

you can do this:

```
home.getParent().getElement().setId("tray-active");
```
