some jQuery for which I should be ashamed..

This beauty is for a wellness app that I'm working on (in Rails). What makes me proud (ashamed) is my use of 'var that = this'. I saw this somewhere..and couldn't help but laugh..and keep up the fun.

/* Click Event for Goal Completion */
      $(".goal_link a").click(function(){
        var that = this;
        $.ajax({
            type: "PUT",
             url: $(this).attr("href"),
            data: "authenticity_token=#{form_authenticity_token}",
         success: function(msg){
            $(that).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().hide("slow");
         },
           error: function(req, status, error){
           $("#user_goals_messages").html("We're sorry, but there was a problem updating this goal");

           }
        });

        return false;
      });

This bind event simply performs an ajax call (which would otherwise be sent normally) to mark a "Goal" complete. Upon success it is hidden.
