Huh? Including jQuery in our Project Code Challenge: Task 4

Hey guys,

So I'm currently stuck on task 4 of the Including jQuery in our Project Code Challenge

The error that I am consistently getting is Bummer! You need to call 'click()' on '$(".removable")' and enter in an anonymous function. and I am a bit confused about what it means.

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#message").hide().show("slow");
$(".removable").show().prev().remove;
$(".removeable").click(function() {});

Any tips of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance

Stu :)

I have included the closing </script> tag, but the edit feature doesn't want to work... again!

Hey,

The question states to write the logic inside the anonymous function. The method you're using (remove) is correct, but as it is a method, it requires these guys: ().... making it the method call of remove();

Try putting that inside the anonymous function as a method that's acting on 'this'. Don't forget to use jQuery to select 'this' using the dollar sign.

Does that help?

Hey Heather,

I figured out where I was going wrong. I had spelt removable incorrectly. Thanks for your help!
