How to apply jQuery on Meteor.js

Question

I´ve create a template for meteor.js, what I want is to apply a jQuery effect for an onclick event on tran_button, the idea with the effect is that div associated to button disappear. I don´t get any error through meteor console, or firebug console.

Template.tran.events({
    'click .tran_button' : function(){
       $(this._id).slideUp('slow');
     }
});

Thanks.

Answer 1

$(event.target).slideUp('slow');

Answer 2

Pass the event to the function and get id from event.currentTarget:

Template.tran.events({
    'click .tran_button' : function(event){
        $('#' + event.currentTarget.id).slideUp('slow');
    }
});
