If the incoming arg to $() is an array, it's assumed to be an array of
DOM elements. That's what your get_selected_rows() returns, so jQuery
creates an object that has those elements. However, it seems like you
could do it with a single selector and no function:
$("#sortable_table
tbody :checkbox:checked").parent().parent().parent().parent().remove();
Instead of doing all those parent calls, you could do this if the
parent element to be removed has a class like "item":
$("#sortable_table
tbody :checkbox:checked").parents(".item").remove();
At least I think that should work...give it a try and see.
