parent of the `script` tag will either `body` or `head` as far I know. Anything else can be parent? – Bharadwaj Dec 17 '14 at 12:17

`$(this).parent().get(0).tagName` I'm assuming you're talking about `$(this)` this. – prgmrDev Dec 17 '14 at 12:27

You can do it like this:
<div class="parent">
<script>
var scriptTags = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
var parentTag = scriptTags[scriptTags.length-1].parentNode;
alert(parentTag.className);
</script>
</div>Note that you have to get the script tags at once and not on DOM ready.

In one line jQuery: var script = jQuery('script').last().parent();
Note:
Do NOT cast this in ready event, because then the last script might not be the script you are searching for.
