    <p><a href="#" title="" class="more">More</a></p>
</div>

jQuery

$('.more').bind("hover", function(){
    $(this).parent('.post').hide() ;

on hover (.more) i want to hide the post, but it does nothing if i use parents() instead it deletes ALL the .posts on the page

$('.more').bind('hover',function()
{
    $(this).closest('.post').hide();
});
