Just a few corrections to that:
$('a').bind('click', function () {
$(this).parents('div:eq(0)').hide();
})
Or more appropriate to the situation:
// select 'a' within div's with a class beginning with 'box-'
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED] a').bind('click', function () {
$(this).parents('div:eq(0)').hide();
})
