[jQuery] Selecting 'this''s parent

[Kyle Decot]

I am fairly new to jQuery so excuse me if this is a somewhat dumb
question. I have a click function applied to all my links with the
class "delete". How do I select the parent div of this link? I have
tried the code below with no success. Thank you.

<div class = 'grey'>
<a href = '#' class = 'delete'>Hide my parent div</a>
</div>


<script>

$(".delete").click(function() {

$(this + ":parent").toggle("slow");

});


</script>
