Now why is this not working with a href?
I have just no clue.
My guess is that the context doesn't resolve correctly when you do
"javascript:" in the href, so when you do "this.parentNode", it probably
thinks "this" is the window object, which doesn't have a parent node. Thus
it returns undefined.
When you do "onclick" it knows the context is that "a" node so it works
properly.
Also, if you are getting into jQuery, I'd suggest learning a little bit
about "unobtrusive javascript", that is, not putting your event handler code
inline. This helps you keep your html markup and your JS code separated.

Thanx for the fast reply!
I just now found why it was not working..
With this it works:
<a onclick="removeItem('something', this.parentNode);">click</a>
with this not (will give the freaking error):
<a href="javascript:removeItem('something', this.parentNode);">click</a>
Now why is this not working with a href?
I have just no clue.

Your function is fine, however when you *call* the function removeItem,
you'll need to pass in two arguments -- otherwise obj will be undefined:
removeItem('myitem'); // obj is undefined
removeItem('myitem', myobject); // obj is defined

Subject: [jQuery] Why do i keep getting: test is not defined!
hey,
function removeItem(name, obj)
{
var answer = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete: " + name + "?")
var test = obj;
if (answer)
{
$(test.parentNode.parentNode).fadeOut("slow");
}
}
the code is simple and still not working.. the issue is that i try to
call a variable in a if that wasn't made there.. but how can i resolve
that?
Why is javascript not working how you would expect it to work :S i
know Java and PHP well and things like this are no issue in them.
o and in this code i already put obj in test.. i've tried it with obj
first but that gave the same error as in the title.
Thanx.
