13,405 Pointscode challenge: including jquery in our project 5/5
I'm not really getting jquery at all. I have tried everything and still am not getting it! Can anyone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? The question is: Within the anonymous function write the code to remove the element that’s clicked from the document. This returns the answer: Bummer! null
$("#message").hide().show("slow"); $(".removable").click( function(){(this).remove();});

13,405 PointsOK, never mind. I started over and worked through it really slowly and managed to find my mistake - one little $ sign before (this)!
Jquery makes me want to bang my head against the table!!

9,767 PointsI find myself in the same situation. Got to grips with HTML and CSS really quickly and enjoying it. Started jquery and I suck at it. My advice is to do Jim's intro to programming, JavaScript lessons and then do the php lessons. The similarities between the languages are clear and the php teachings are helping me understand jquery.
