How do I call jQuery's hide() method in Ember.js?

Question

I am trying to hide an object using the jQuery method hide(), but it doesn't work.

I used console.log() to check the value of the argument in called function, so I know Im not doing right. But, i dont know how to make it work...

Here's what I have:

#------------------------Model------------------------


App.Monster = Ember.Object.extend({

name: "",
hp: 0,
isDead : false,

isDeadChanged: function(target, value){
    App.monstersController.kill(target);
}.observes('isDead')

});



#------------------------Controller------------------------




App.monstersController = Ember.ArrayProxy.create({

content:[],

createMonster: function(name,hp){
    var monster = App.Monster.create({name:name});
    this.pushObject(monster);
},


kill: function(target){

    //I Want the selected object to hide by using Jquery hide method!!
    $('target').hide();

    this.removeObject(target);


},


#------------------------HTML FILE------------------------



{{#each App.monstersController contentBinding="App.monstersController.content" tagName="ul"}}
    <li>
        {{view Ember.Checkbox checkedBinding="isDead"}}
        <label for="" {{bindAttr class="isDead"}}>{{name}}</label>
    </li>
{{/each}}

Generally bringing your DOM scripting patterns to Ember isn't going work, since Ember isn't about DOM manipulation it's about describing your application using objects. The DOM representation of your application will update automatically to reflect the state of its underlying data objects.

Ember.View tracks its visibility (and the visibility of its child views) with the isVisible property and will handle toggling the it's DOM representation for you. You should try to uncover the semantic object meaning of visibility for a given view context. For example, if you decided finished items in a todo list shouldn't be visible, you'd do:

{{#each item in controller}}
  {{view App.TodoItemView isVisibileBinding="item.isComplete"}} <a {{action kill item}}>Done!</a>
{{/each}}
