html:

```
<div class="post">
    <h2><a href="#" title="">Pellentesque</a></h2>
    <p><a href="#" title="" class="more">More</a></p>
</div>

```

jQuery

```
$('.more').bind("hover", function(){
    $(this).parent('.post').hide() ;                      
});

```

on hover (.more) i want to hide the post, but it does nothing
if i use parents() instead it deletes ALL the .posts on the page

any help appreciated
