title: remove class from parent element with jQuery?
body: <p>I can't figure out how to remove class from a parent element, basically I have a <code>&lt;audio&gt;</code> tag (from now on referred to as <code>this</code>) which is inside a div with <code>class="playing"</code> how can I remove this class?</p>
  
  <p>tried this, but than understood that it will remove class from audio element not it's parent div:</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.removeClass("playing");
  </code></pre>
