[jQuery] Adding function argument into jquery

[hubbs]

I wrote a small script that brings up a confirm dialog, and if the
user clicks ok, it will hide a div, and then post a URL.  I am using
the assetid argument from my function, and I want to use that with the
jquery .hide function, but it does not seem to work.  What have I done
wrong?  It seems like it is not passing assetid into the .hide()
function.

<script type="text/javascript">
function deleteAsset(message, action, assetid, asseturl) {
   var confirmDelete = confirm(message);
   if (confirmDelete == true) {
      if(action == "delete") {
         //Add jQuery function to hide the asset from the users view
         $(assetid).hide();
         $("#announceItemFull").html("");
         //Use ajax to post the URL so that our trigger will delete
the selected asset
         $.ajax( {
            type : "POST", url : asseturl + "?action=delete" }
         );
         }
      }
   }
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="deleteAsset('Do you really want to delete
this?','delete','a221','http://www.puc.edu');">Delete</a>
