Hide a DIV link

Here's the HTML I used.

<div id="hide-this">
    This here DIV will be hidden when you click on 
    the link
</div>
<a href="#hide-this" class="close">This is the link that hides the DIV</a>

$(function() {
    $('a.close').click(function() {
        $($(this).attr('href')).slideUp();
        return false;
    });
});
