Why does "closest()" not work (here)?

Why does "closest()" not work (here)?

Lets start with a sample page:


http://www.thewindowsclub.com/winguard-pro-password-protect


I want to get rid of the two lines inside the article which start with "RECOMMENDED:"


Therefore I coded:


  1. $("RECOMMENDED:").closest("div").remove();

but this does not work.

The command was told me to delete (only) the next <div> element above a certain string (here: "RECOMMENDED:")


Whats wrong?
