[jQuery] How to Hide Parent Div

[AndyH]

All,

I am new to using jQuery, but have been playing with it this weekend
and am stuck on one area which I have exhausted resources.

I have an index.html page which has three Tabs inside a DIV container.
The tab content is populated using Ajax and a seperate html file.

<div id="index_tab_container" class="index_tab_container">
    <!-- Tabs -->
        <div id="tabs">
                <ul>
                   <li><a href="HomeTab.html" title="Home Page">Home</a></li>
                                   <li><a href="NXTab.html"
title="Support">NX</a></li>
                   <li><a href="TCTab.html" title="Support Two"></a></li>
                </ul>
        </div>
</div>

Below this I have a jQuery Accordion menu..code below

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){$("#index_accordion").accordion({
      header: "h3",
      active: false,
      collapsible: true,
      autoHeight: false  });});
                </script>

                <div id="index_accordion">
                        <div>
                        <h3><a href="#">CAD Standards</a></h3>
                        <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit 
amet.</div>
                        </div>
                        <div>
                        <h3><a href="#">Meeting Minutes</a></h3>
                        <div>Phasellus mattis tincidunt nibh.</div>
                        </div>
                        <div>
                        <h3><a href="#">Meeting Minutes 2</a></h3>
                        <div>Nam dui erat, auctor a, dignissim quis.</div>
                        </div>
                </div>

I would like to do this....


When a user clicks to view one of the other tabs (apart from
HomeTab.html) I would like to hide the Accordion which is displayed on
the home page.

I have tried loads of syntax but cannot get anything to work.

This is what I have at present at the top of the NXTab.html, but it
does not work.

      $(function() {$(this).parent('div.index_accordion').hide();
      });

Any help would be really appreciated.
