Having a problem with this one-page site where the idea is you click on the links and a box slides down but it also needs a close function to bring it back up. Problem is the close button is in the element to be animated, so it needs to be called by its’ parent, I presume. I’ve tried a variety of different ways to accomplish this but nothing seems to work. If you go to http://upsilon.lunariffic.com/~swstr0 and click About–>Sarah Weintraub, trying click the close link. Nothing happens and no errors either. So what to do? Here’s an example:
<script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("li.btn-home a").click(function(){ jQuery(this).parent.slideUp( "slow" ); return false; }); }); </script>

Try like this,
<script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("a.close-con").click(function(){ jQuery(this).parents("div#panel").slideUp( "slow" ); return false; }); }); </script>
.parent()
will traverse up only one level where as .parents()
will traverse parents of parents
EDIT : Global selector [Requires jQuery 1.7+]
<script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("body").on("click","a.close-con", function(){ jQuery(this).parents("div#panel").slideUp( "slow" ); return false; }); }); </script>
