---

getParentPlaceholder

public Placeholder getParentPlaceholder()

Returns:

number - The position of this Book within the parent Placeholder; null if this Book is not a child of a Placeholder

---

setPlaceholderPosition

Portlet.findByLabel("myPortlet"); // Returns Portlet
Window.findByLabel("myPortlet");  // Returns Portlet
Book.findByLabel("myPortlet");    // Returns null
