Concealing the nearest div that has a particular class

I'm currently developing an application that simulates desktop-style application windows with the ability to open, minimize, and close. While I have successfully implemented the functionality to expand and collapse these windows, I am facing difficulties in getting them to close properly. I cannot seem to figure out why the close function is not working as expected. Below is a snippet of my code:

<script>
     $(document).ready(function () {

        $("form.common").first().show();
             $(".expand").click(function () {
                 $(this).parents().next("form.common").show();
             })
             $(".collapse").click(function () {
                 $(this).parents().next("form.common").hide();
             });
             $(".close").click(function () {
                 $(this).parents().next("div.module").hide();
             });
    });
 </srcipt>
 <div id="task_manager" class="module"> <!-- Need the x with class close to hide this div-->
 <h3>Task Manager</h3> <!-- This header and below icons are shown when minimized-->
<div class="module_actions">
    <span class="icons_small right close">X</span>
    <span class="icons_small right collapse">-</span>
    <span class="icons_small right expand">+</span> 
</div>  
<form class="common">
    <fieldset>
     <legend> Some Titlee/legend>
    </fieldset>
</form>
</div>

I would appreciate any assistance in identifying why the closing functionality is not working properly. Thank you.

Answer №1

The solution lies within the question itself:

$(".close").on("click", function () {
    $(this).closest("div.container").hide();
});

See demo here

Furthermore, it is advisable to update your references from parents() to simply parent() to traverse up the DOM structure effectively.

Answer №2

The issue was a missing > in the line of code

<legend> Some Titlee/legend>
, Once that is added, everything works fine.

Answer №3

This code snippet should get the job done:

  $(".close").click(function () {
       $(this).parent().hide();
   });
