hide()
is the method the Challenge is asking you to "call". When attaching a method, there will also be a dot operator. Since methods are functions that means you also need to call it. How do we call a function--we add parentheses. Like this: hide()
The other error you made was omitting the jQuery selector before (event.target)
. For a deeper understanding of event.target
I would recommend the MDN docs.
