Hide parent element with onclick function

Question

I use jQuery most of the time, so I am having a bit of trouble with the following (simple) javascript:

I want to dismiss(hide) the parent element of a p tag when cli

Answer 1

http://jsfiddle.net/CUqmn/4/

function dismiss(){
      document.getElementById('dismiss').parentNode.style.display='none';
};

BTW, as jsfiddle wrap javascript code in loader function, use no wrap in left select box to get it work on jsfiddle.
