How to delete parent element using jQuery

Question

I have some list item tags in my jsp. Each list item has some elements inside, including a link (\"a\" tag) called delete. All that I want is to delete the entire list item

Answer 1

Delete parent:

$(document).on("click", ".remove", function() {
       $(this).parent().remove(); 
});

Delete all parents:

$(document).on("click", ".remove", function() { 
       $(this).parents().remove();
});
