title: Raw javascript instead of jquery (example follows)
body: <p>this is my first question here. I have the following jquery code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){  
      $("a").click(function(){
          $(this).parent("li").css({textDecoration: "line-through"});
          return false;
      });
   });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>that works just fine. It strikes through the parent li of any clicked anchor (there are many anchors and lists in the html, not just one). But i want just this functionality, nothing else. Isn't this an overkill to include the whole jquery library?</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunateley i don't know raw javascript very well, can someone convert this for me? I would be grateful.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Wow i am amazed at speed and the quality of the answers! So first of all a big THANKS to all of you! I will either go for jonathon's (edit2: roland's) solution or just include jquery after all. Thanks again!</p>
