title: Is there a CSS parent selector?
body: <p>How do I select the <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> element that is a direct parent of the anchor element?</p>
  <p>As an example, my CSS would be something like this:</p>
  <pre><code>li &lt; a.active {
      property: value;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>Obviously there are ways of doing this with JavaScript, but I'm hoping that there is some sort of workaround that exists native to CSS Level 2.</p>
  <p>The menu that I am trying to style is being spewed out by a CMS, so I can't move the active element to the <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> element... (unless I theme the menu creation module which I'd rather not do).</p>
