Waypoint: Target the Parent of an Element Using jQuery

[marcoshuet]

Challenge http://www.freecodecamp.com/challenges/waypoint-target-the-parent-of-an-element-using-jquery has an issue. Please describe how to reproduce it, and include links to screenshots if possible.

"Your left-well element should have a red background." is not completed until you make it with #target1 as well.

I don't believe this is a bug, but rather that the instructions could be clarified. The example code is a bit misleading, because it shows .parent() applied directly to the left well, which is probably confusing a lot of campers.

The goal here, however, is to use .parent() to change the style of the left well, and to do that you need to apply .parent() to one the left well's children. This is clear from the following part of the instructions:

Give the parent of the #target1 element background-color of red.

@denmch exactly! I think instructions need to be clarified maybe in this way.
Here's an example of how you would use the parent() function to set the #left-well element's parent element background color $("#left-well").parent().css("background-color", "blue").
