How to click item before hide?

I'm trying to build a cool drop down list using bootstrap. However, I'm stuck now on the part of deleting items. the input has focusout event which stop me from using any element even in the list itself.

And here is my code. I need to delete item.

$(document).ready(function(){
  // on focus => show list
  $("input[data-ddl]").focus(function(e){
    let inpt = e.target;
    let ul = document.querySelector(`ul[data-ddl='${inpt.dataset.ddl}']`);
    $(ul).css("display","block")
  });
  // on focusout => hide list
  $("input[data-ddl]").focusout(function(e){
    let inpt = e.target;
    let ul = document.querySelector(`ul[data-ddl='${inpt.dataset.ddl}']`);
    $(ul).css("display","none")
  });
  // on click => add to list
  $("button[data-ddl]").click(function(e){
    let btn = e.target;
    let inpt = document.querySelector(`input[data-ddl='${btn.dataset.ddl}']`);
    let ul = document.querySelector(`ul[data-ddl='${inpt.dataset.ddl}']`);
    if (inpt.value != "")
      $(ul).append(`<li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center">${inpt.value}<a href="#" data-ddl="1" class="bi bi-trash"></a></li>`);
    
    $(ul).css("display","block");
  });
  // on click => remove from list
  $("a[data-ddl]").click(function(e){
    alert('ok')
    let a = e.target;
    console.log(a)
    a.parent("li").remove();                    
    console.log(a.parent("li"))
  });                 
                                
});

If you look at the console log, you can see it's complaining about a.parent this is because a in this context, e.target is a reference to DOM Element and not DOM Object. you are using JQuery, so just change a to $(a) and you should now have a reference to .parent;

One of the other issues I can see is, the click handler not working for dynamically added elements, I'd suggest looking into .on()

$(document).ready(function(){
  // on focus => show list
  $("input[data-ddl]").focus(function(e){
    let inpt = e.target;
    let ul = document.querySelector(`ul[data-ddl='${inpt.dataset.ddl}']`);
    $(ul).css("display","block")
  });
  // on focusout => hide list
  $("input[data-ddl]").focusout(function(e){
    let inpt = e.target;
    let ul = document.querySelector(`ul[data-ddl='${inpt.dataset.ddl}']`);
    $(ul).css("display","none")
  });
  // on click => add to list
  $("button[data-ddl]").click(function(e){
    let btn = e.target;
    let inpt = document.querySelector(`input[data-ddl='${btn.dataset.ddl}']`);
    let ul = document.querySelector(`ul[data-ddl='${inpt.dataset.ddl}']`);
    if (inpt.value != "")
      $(ul).append(`<li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center">${inpt.value}<a href="#" data-ddl="1" class="bi bi-trash"></a></li>`);
    
    $(ul).css("display","block");
  });
  // on click => remove from list
  $("a[data-ddl]").click(function(e){
    alert('ok')
    let a = e.target;
    console.log(a)
    $(a).parent("li").remove();                    
    console.log($(a).parent("li"))
  });                 
                                
});
