javascript - Hide parent element with onclick function

Question

I use jQuery most of the time, so I am having a bit of trouble with the following (simple) javascript:

I want to dismiss(hide) the parent element of a p tag when clicking on it:

HTML:

<div class="parent">
     <p id="dismiss" onclick="dismiss();">dismiss this box</p>
</div>

JS:

function dismiss(){
    document.getElementById('dismiss').pDoc.parentNode.style.display='none';
};

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/CUqmn/3/

But this is not working. What would be the correct code?

Thanks

function dismiss(){
      document.getElementById('dismiss').parentNode.style.display='none';
};

BTW, as jsfiddle wrap javascript code in loader function, use no wrap in left select box to get it work on jsfiddle.
