You're mixing up two different kinds of "parents" - parent *node/element*
and parent *window*.
Assuming that anyTag is a valid reference to your <any tag>, then this code
should work (it's based on tested code that I use):
var frameDoc = anyTag.ownerDocument;
var frameWindow = frameDoc.parentWindow || frameDoc.defaultView;
var frameElement = frameWindow.frameElement;
var outerDiv = frameElement.parentNode;
