Hello, i've been writing javascript for a while now. So, as you can imagine I am struggling just a bit. I browsed a few of the beginner tutorials and didn't see what I was looking for. I understand that methods like .is or .hide are special to the jquery library and you can't access these using regular DOM elements. But I don't want to type $(this.parentNode.parentNode) every time I want to do something to it. Assigning var target = $(this.parentNode.parentNode); still doesn't let me use jquery methods against target.
Can someone point me in the right direction here?
