jQuery getting the item that called the function and removing it's parent

I have a function that removes the item, cod开发者_如何学编程e looks like this

<li><a onclick="remove('9', 1);">Remove</a></li>

With jquery, how would I remove the whole 'li' when remove is clicked?

Thank you!

Instead of the onClick event I'd prefer to use the following way:

<li><a id="remove">Remove</a></li>

$('#remove').click(function(){
    $(this).parent().remove();
});

Something similar to following:

$("a").click(function() {
    $(this).parent("li").remove();
});

The "a" selector likely needs to be changed to match the exact <a> elements you want.
