Clone div based on content of span

There are random number of div's as show below, I am trying to clone these div on click. when cloning I want to change the content to actual content + no of clones it has (based on content of span , not the id or classes of "clone-this")
eg.
If I click the first "chrome" div, since the body already have "chrome (1) and chrome (2)" , div with content "chrome (3)" Should appear .
If I click the 2nd div ie. "Mozilla Firefox", since there is no cloned version, a div with content "Mozilla Firefox (1)" should appear.
and so on.
I tried to make this, but when i clone the count is based on class , not the content . so clicking on "chrome" div will clone "chrome (5)" not "chrome (3)" .
Also in my implementation when i click the "chrome (1)" div, it will clone as "chrome (1)(5)" . I want this to be like "chrome (3)"
how can i achieve this?
note that there will be any number of divs at first. 5 is just for and example.
jsfiddle here
$(document).on('click', '.clone-this', function(){
var CloneContainer = $(this).clone();
var no = $('.clone-this').size();
CloneContainer.html(CloneContainer.html() + " (" + no + ")");
CloneContainer.appendTo('body');
});
.clone-this{
padding: 15px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 10px auto;
cursor: pointer;
color: #444;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 3px;
font-family: monospace;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Mozilla Firefox</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Safari</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome (1)</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome (2)</span></div>

To accomplish that, you should check "content" of each item and count the number of elements which have same text. But, there is one problem here; each element (for example Chrome, Chrome (1), Chrome (2)) has different content. So, you may split the text using parenthesis or you may use RegEx (recommended).
$(document).on('click', '.clone-this', function(){
var CloneContainer = $(this).clone();
var content = CloneContainer.find('span').html().split(' (')[0];
var no = $(".clone-this:contains('"+content+"')").size();
CloneContainer.html( CloneContainer.html() .split(' (')[0] + " (" + no + ")" );
CloneContainer.appendTo('body');
});
.clone-this{
padding: 15px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 10px auto;
cursor: pointer;
color: #444;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 3px;
font-family: monospace;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Mozilla Firefox</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Safari</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome (1)</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome (2)</span></div>
On the snippet above, you may see basic version of it. But you MUST consider the "similar content" issue like following.
Chrome
Chrome Mobile
Firefox
Firefox Mobile

Here is another way to get you going. I "trim" the clicked div to its base name and then loop through the divs and get the length of all which contain the same base name.
After that I modify the cloned element to fill in the right count of the cloned element appropriately:
var regExp = /\([0-9]+\)/;
$('.clone-this').click(function(e){
var target = e.target.textContent;
var matches = regExp.exec(target);
var elements = $('.clone-this');
var count = elements.length;
var index = 0;
if (null != matches) {
target = matches.input.substr(0, matches.input.lastIndexOf(" "));
}
for(var i = 0; i < count; i++){
index += (elements[i].textContent.indexOf(target) > -1) ? 1: 0;
}
var CloneContainer = $(this).clone();
CloneContainer.html(CloneContainer.html().split('(')[0] + "(" + index + ")" );
CloneContainer.appendTo('body');
});
.clone-this{
padding: 15px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 10px auto;
cursor: pointer;
color: #444;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 3px;
font-family: monospace;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Mozilla Firefox</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Safari</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome (1)</span></div>
<div class="clone-this"><span>Chrome (2)</span></div>

hover in css have does no effect when element is hoverd

So I made a bunch of divs stacked on each other, and I want each div to change its background color whenever its hover, but that's not what happens
When I hover an item its background color should change to green,
but it doesn't work even that I wrote div.oldiv:hover{background-color: #48FF0D;}
The problem is probably in CSS code.
Here is a snippet :
body{
background-color: #48FF0D;
}
#bigdiv {
height: 90%;
width: 100%;
}
.oldiv {
height: 0.390625%;
width: 100%;}
div.oldiv:hover{
background-color: #48FF0D;
}
#bigdiv2 {
height: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.btn {
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 14px 28px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.uptodown {
background-color: #e7e7e7;
color: black;
}
.uptodown:hover {
background: #ddd;
}
.l{
float: right;
}
<body>
<script>
var b = "",k = "",a,q,d;
for(a = 0;a<=256;a++){
d =" <div id=\"du\" class=\"oldiv\" style=\"background-color: rgb("+a+","+a+","+a+");\"></div>";
q =" <div id=\"du\" class=\"oldiv\" style=\"background-color:rgb("+(256-a)+","+(256-a)+","+(256-a)+");\"></div>";
b = b+"\n"+d;
k = k+"\n"+q;
}
window.onload = function (){
document.getElementById("bigdiv").innerHTML = b;
document.getElementById("bigdiv2").innerHTML = k;
}
function utd(a){
var bigdiv = document.getElementById("bigdiv");
var bigdiv2 = document.getElementById("bigdiv2");
if(a == 0){
bigdiv.style.height = "0";
bigdiv2.style.height= "90%";
}else{
bigdiv.style.height = "90%";
bigdiv2.style.height= "0";
}
}
</script>
<div id="bigdiv">
</div>
<div id="bigdiv2">
</div>
<div>
<button class="btn uptodown" onclick="utd(0)">white to black</button>
<button class="btn uptodown l" onclick="utd(1)">black to white</button>
</div>
</body>
Don't word about all the Javascript, its just to generate elements and adding them to HTML

I have no idea what the purpose of this code is, but I think I have fixed it..... Whatever it is :P
Your #bigdiv and #bigdiv2 percentage height were not working because the height of the document wasn't 100%. So I just added html, body {height:100%;} to fix that.
/* code added START */
html, body {
height:100%;
}
div.oldiv:hover {
background-color: #48FF0D!important;
}
/* code added END */
body{
background-color: #48FF0D;
}
#bigdiv {
height: 90%;
width: 100%;
}
.oldiv {
height: 0.390625%;
width: 100%;
}
/* div.oldiv:hover{background-color: #48FF0D;} */
#bigdiv2 {
height: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.btn {
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 14px 28px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.uptodown {
background-color: #e7e7e7;
color: black;
}
.uptodown:hover {
background: #ddd;
}
.l {
float: right;
}
<script>
var b = "",k = "",a,q,d;
for(a = 0;a<=256;a++){
d =" <div id=\"du\" class=\"oldiv\" style=\"background-color: rgb("+a+","+a+","+a+");\"></div>";
q =" <div id=\"du\" class=\"oldiv\" style=\"background-color:rgb("+(256-a)+","+(256-a)+","+(256-a)+");\"></div>";
b = b+"\n"+d;
k = k+"\n"+q;
}
function utd(a) {
var bigdiv = document.getElementById("bigdiv");
var bigdiv2 = document.getElementById("bigdiv2");
if(a == 0) {
bigdiv.style.height = "0";
bigdiv2.style.height= "90%";
} else {
bigdiv.style.height = "90%";
bigdiv2.style.height= "0";
}
}
</script>
<div id="bigdiv">
<script>document.write(b);</script>
</div>
<div id="bigdiv2">
<script>document.write(k);</script>
</div>
<div>
<button class="btn uptodown" onclick="utd(0)">white to black</button>
<button class="btn uptodown l" onclick="utd(1)">black to white</button>
</div>

Well, there is no use of Javascript here. I'm not able to understand what problem you're facing but refer here : https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_hover.asp
CSS already has property of hover and can be used like element:hover {your properties inside like whatever event has to be happened on hover}. There is no need to use JS here. Hope this helps.
UPDATE:
I would also suggest you to follow good practice of writing JS code and CSS code in a separate file not in a HTML file.

How to make selected text bold/italic/underlined in javascript?

I'm trying to work on a webpage that allows users to write their own notes for a school project, and my idea was to let them bold/italicize/underline their text using buttons. As of now, the buttons are working, but they bold/italicize/underline everything inside the text area. Instead, I want it to work in such a way that only the text they highlight gets bold/italicized/underlined.
I'd also like to know how to make it so that when they click the bold button, text that they type from then onwards will come out bold, and when they click it again, the text that is typed from then onwards will come out normal.
<script type="text/javascript">
function boldText(){
var target = document.getElementById("TextArea");
if( target.style.fontWeight == "bolder" ) {
target.style.fontWeight = "normal";
} else {
target.style.fontWeight = "bolder";
}
}
function italicText(){
var target = document.getElementById("TextArea");
if( target.style.fontStyle == "italic" ) {
target.style.fontStyle = "normal";
} else {
target.style.fontStyle = "italic";
}
}
function underlineText(){
var target = document.getElementById("TextArea");
if( target.style.textDecoration == "underline" ) {
target.style.textDecoration = "none";
} else {
target.style.textDecoration = "underline";
}
}
</script>

You can use execCommand(). This API was meant for developing text editors. The 3 buttons utilize the very versatile execCommand() and the writing element is a plain div enabled with the attribute contenteditable.
SNIPPET
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset='utf-8'>
<style>
:root {
font: 400 2ch/1.25 Consolas;
}
body {
font-size: 2ch
}
#editor {
height: 100px;
width: 375px;
margin: 10px auto 0;
}
fieldset {
margin: 2px auto 15px;
width: 375px;
}
button {
width: 5ex;
text-align: center;
padding: 1px 3px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<fieldset id="editor" contenteditable="true">
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<button class="fontStyle" onclick="document.execCommand('italic',false,null);" title="Italicize Highlighted Text"><i>I</i>
</button>
<button class="fontStyle" onclick="document.execCommand( 'bold',false,null);" title="Bold Highlighted Text"><b>B</b>
</button>
<button class="fontStyle" onclick="document.execCommand( 'underline',false,null);" title='Underline Highlighted Text'><u>U</u>
</button>
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>

Textarea does not allow such things. I would suggest you to use something like ckeditor. It will do the job for you neatly. But if you still want to do it yourself, you need to use a div with contenteditable tag.
Good Luck !

With textarea you cannot achieve that, use divs instead, so you can do something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.boldText').click(function(){
$('.container').toggleClass("bold");
});
$('.italicText').click(function(){
$('.container').toggleClass("italic");
});
$('.underlineText').click(function(){
$('.container').toggleClass("underline");
});
});
div.container {
width: 300px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 5px;
}
.bold{
font-weight:bold;
}
.italic{
font-style :italic;
}
.underline{
text-decoration: underline;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="container" contentEditable></div><br/>
<input type="button" class="boldText" value="Bold">
<input type="button" class="italicText" value="Italic">
<input type="button" class="underlineText" value="Underline">

Animations not playing on load or on click in Javascript

Working on a tip calculator with an animation on an h1 tag and a slideDown and slideUp on click on the h2 tags. Problem is, none of the animations are playing and the click event isn't working either.

$(document).ready(function() {

I can't figure out for the life of me why the animations work in a separate test file but when I use them now in my tip calculator they don't. I'm using Murach's Javascript and Jquery book but this section has been terribly hard to understand.

Your issue is that you include jQuery but later on in the global scope you redefine the $:
var $ = function(id) {
return document.getElementById(id);
}
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/AtheistP3ace/u0von3g7/
All I did was change the variable name holding that function and replace it in the areas you were using it. Specifically:
var getById = function(id) {
return document.getElementById(id);
}
var calculateClick = function() {
var billAmount = parseFloat(getById("billAmount").value);
var percentTip = parseFloat(getById("percentTip").value);
var amountPeople = parseInt(getById("amountPeople").value);
if (isNaN(billAmount) || billAmount <= 0) {
alert("Your bill can't be 0 or less.");
} else if (isNaN(percentTip) || percentTip <= 0) {
alert("The percentage should be a whole number.");
} else if (isNaN(amountPeople) || amountPeople <= 0) {
alert("You are 1 person never count yourself as less.");
} else {
var total = billAmount * (percentTip / 100) / amountPeople;
getById("totalTip").value = total.toFixed(2);
}
}
window.onload = function() {
getById("calculate").onclick = calculateClick;
getById("billAmount").focus();
}
$ is just shorthand for jQuery. When you include jQuery it creates two functions for you that both do the same thing. jQuery and $. If you set $ equal to something else you have effectively overwritten jQuery library included in your page and it will no longer operate as you would expect. All jQuery functionality begins with using $ or jQuery function. Once that returns a jQuery object to you, you can begin chaining and calling functions off those objects but to get a jQuery object you need to use the jQuery or $ function.
You mentioned in a comment above your teacher had you do that to fix something. I imagine it was because jQuery was not initially included so he just created the $ selector function to get you moving but I would hope he explained why he did that and how it can affect things later.

IE JS compatibility - working in FF?

The following code displays as intended in FireFox, but isn't displaying at all in Internet Explorer (v8).
// getLimits init
Frog.API.get('users.getInfo',
{
'params': {'id': UWA.Environment.user.id, 'details':'groups' },
'onSuccess': AssignPoints.getLimit,
'onError': function(err) { alert(err); }
});
...
// work out the user's limit, and how many points they've spent this week
// use LEAP library if necessary
AssignPoints.getLimit = function(data) {
for (var i in data[0].groups) {
if (data[0].groups[i].name.indexOf("LEAP") != -1) {
AssignPoints.Limit = data[0].groups[i].name.substr(5,3);
}
}
/************** IT'S THIS LINE ONWARDS WHERE THE ALERTS SEEM TO BREAK IN IE */
if (AssignPoints.Limit == 0) {
AssignPoints.Specialist = true;
}
UWA.Data.getJson(AssignPoints.URL + "?cmd=getLimitsAndTotals&Giver_ID=" + AssignPoints.CurrentUser, AssignPoints.getPointsSpent);
}
AssignPoints.getPointsSpent = function(data) {
AssignPoints.SpentWeekly = data.SpentWeekly;
AssignPoints.SpentTotal = data.SpentTotal;
AssignPoints.displayLimitAndTotals();
}
// display data from getLimitAndTotals
AssignPoints.displayLimitAndTotals = function() {
var LimitsAndTotalsHTML = '<h2>Points Allocation</h2>';
if (AssignPoints.Specialist == false) {
LimitsAndTotalsHTML += '<ul><li>Weekly Limit: <strong>' + AssignPoints.Limit + '</strong></li>';
} else {
LimitsAndTotalsHTML += '<ul><li>Weekly Limit: <strong>Unlimited</strong></li>';
}
LimitsAndTotalsHTML += '<li>Spent this week: <strong style="color:#990000;">' + AssignPoints.SpentWeekly + '</strong></li>' +
'<li>Spent total: <strong>' + AssignPoints.SpentTotal + '</strong></li></ul>';
$('div#limits').html(LimitsAndTotalsHTML);
}
EDIT: CSS & HTML
I don't think it's a CSS/HTML issue, as I have the previous version of this script (which I decided to rewrite because it was hideous code and some odd mash-up of procedural and just pure bodging) which displays correctly in IE using exactly the same HTML&CSS.
#total_container
{ overflow: hidden; width: 870px; }
#groups
{ width: 250px; float: left; padding: 10px; }
#right_container
{ width: 580px; float: left; padding: 10px; }
span.check
{ font-size: 10px; color: #666; }
span.err
{ color: red; font-weight: 700; }
#limits, #search_div
{ width: 270px; float:left; padding: 0 10px; }
#groups li, #groups ul
{ list-style-type: none; background: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#groups li a
{ background-color: #999; color: #eee; display: block; margin: 5px 0; border: #666; padding: 8px 2px 8px 10px; width: 243px; }
#groups li a:hover
{ background-color: #990000; }
The HTML is just <div id="limits"></div> and the JS updates it.
// EDIT
SECOND EDIT: ALERTS
I've tried putting random alerts into the code. In IE, in the for (var i in data[0].groups) loop, the alerts work. If I place an alert at any point after that for loop, the alert doesn't appear at all, regardless of whether I use a variable name or a random string such as "test".
In FF, the alerts work regardless of placement within either function.
** // SECOND EDIT **
FireFox, working as intended
Internet Explorer, b0rked
Does anyone know what might be breaking IE?
Thanks in advance.

OK! I've found the problem.
IE didn't like this segment of code:
for (var i in data[0].groups) {
if (data[0].groups[i].name.indexOf("LEAP") != -1) {
AssignPoints.Limit = data[0].groups[i].name.substr(5,3);
}
}
When I've changed that to this format:
for (var i = 0; i < data[0].groups.length; i++) {
if (data[0].groups[i].name.substr(0,4) == "LEAP") {
AssignPoints.Limit = data[0].groups[i].name.substr(5,3);
}
}
It works as intended in FF and IE.
