Question

how do i hide a p tag that my checkbox is sitting in?

<p><input type="checkbox" name="qID5[]" class="required" value="232" id="checkbox"  /> - Answered NO to question 4 </p>

Here is some jquery that hides the checkbox itself depending on a condition but i actually want to hide the entire p. What do i change in the jQuery below to hide the p and everything in it rather than just the checkbox?

if(value == 184){
var $radios = $('input:checkbox[name=qID5[]]');
$radios.filter('[value=232]').attr('checked', true);
$radios.filter('[value=232]').show();
}else{
var $radios = $('input:checkbox[name=qID5[]]');
$radios.filter('[value=232]').attr('checked', false);
$radios.filter('[value=232]').hide();
}}

Use .parent to get the enclosing <p> tag. See below.

if(value == 184){
   var $radios = $('input:checkbox[name=qID5[]]');
   $radios.filter('[value=232]').attr('checked', true);
   $radios.filter('[value=232]').parent().show();
}else{
   var $radios = $('input:checkbox[name=qID5[]]');
   $radios.filter('[value=232]').attr('checked', false);
   $radios.filter('[value=232]').parent().hide();
}
