The attached code properly returns the id and the value of the checked box.

Use parentNode - also note that checkedID is a string, so it doesn't have a parent. Use getElementById to get the checked input:



ParentID = document.getElementById(checkedID).parentNode;
console.log(ParentID.id);

    You need to remove the onevent attributes and use either an onevent property or event listener instead:




    <inputdoClick()...>




    This is basically what you need to hide the parent element of clicked element (event.target):




    event.target.parentElement.style.display = 'none';




    Demo



    Details commented in demo






    // Reference the form 
    var form = document.forms[0];

    // Register the form to the change event
    form.onchange = hide;

    /*
    Called when a user unchecks/checks a checkbox
    event.target is always the currently clicked/changed tag
    Get the changed parent and set it at display: none
    */
    function hide(e)
    var changed = e.target;
    changed.parentElement.style.display = 'none';
    console.log(`Checkbox: $changed.id: $changed.value`);
    console.log(`Parent: $changed.parentElement.id`);
