Question

I have no idea whatsoever why I am getting this error (I read every topic with a similar name but the answers to those questions didn’t apply):

$(document).ready(function() {

postAndFade($node, post_key) {
    var id = $node.parents.('.id').find('.id-value').text();
    var post_val = $node.text();
    $node.fadeOut('slow');

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "process.php",
        data: "id="+id+"&"+post_key+"="+post_val,
        success: function(data) {
            $node.html(data);
            $node.fadeIn('slow');           
        }
    });
    return false;
}

$('.featured-value').click(function() { return postAndFade($this, 'featured'); });
$('.visible-value').click(function() { return postAndFade($this, 'visible'); });

});

Answer 1

postAndFade($node, post_key) {

You’re missing the function keyword.

var id = $node.parents.('.id').find('.id-value').text();

You have an extra . after parents.
