Targeting Multiple Elements with One Function

I have a function that assigns dynamic classes to my div's. This function is a that runs on the page. After the page loads, all 10 of my primary 's have classes ".info1" or ".info2" etc...
I am trying to write a Jquery function that changes the class of the div you click on, and only that one. Here is what I have attempted:
$(".info" + (i ++)).click(function(){
$(".redditPost").toggleClass("show")
});
I have also tried:
$(".info" + (1 + 1)).click(function(){
$(".redditPost").toggleClass("show")
});
And
$(".info" + (i + 1)).click(function(){
$(".redditPost").toggleClass("show")
});
EDITED MY HTML: DIV RedditPost is actually a sibling to Info's parent
<div class="listrow news">
<div class="newscontainer read">
<div class=".info1"></div>
<div class="redditThumbnail"></div>
<div class="articleheader read">
</div>
<div class="redditPost mediumtext"></div>
</div>
My issue is two fold.
The variable selection for ".info" 1 - 10 isn't working because i doesn't have a value.
If I did target the correct element it would change all ".redditPost" classes instead of just targeting the nearest div.

Try like this.
$("[class^='info']").click(funtion(){
$(this).parent().find('.redditPost').toggleClass("show");
});
Alternative:
$('.listrow').each(function(){
var trigger = $(this).find("[class^='info']");
var target = $(this).find('.redditPost');
trigger.click(function(){
target.toggleClass("show");
});
});

Try this
$("div[class*='info']").click(function(){
$(this).parent().find(".redditPost").toggleClass("show")
});
Explanation:
$("div[class*='info'])
Handles click for every div with a class containing the string 'info'
$(this).parent().find(".redditPost")
Gets the redditPost class of the current clicked div

Since the class attribute can have several classes separated by spaces, you want to use the .filter() method with a RegEx to narrow down the element selection as follows:
$('div[class*="info"]').filter(function() {
return /\binfo\d+\b/g.test( $(this).attr('class') );
}).on('click', function() {
$(this).siblings('.redditPost').toggleClass('show');
});
.show {
display:none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="listrow news">
<div class="newscontainer read">
<div class="info1">1</div>
<div class="redditThumbnailinfo">2</div>
<div class="articleheader read">3</div>
<div class="redditPost mediumtext">4</div>
</div>
</div>

Append element using jquery selector

I need to recreate and append my template div to the parent div on button click and this can be done multiple times
<div id = "parent">
<div id = "child_1">
<div><input type = "text"></div>
<div><input type = "text"></div>
//several inputs and divs
</div>
</div>
and my script
//on button click event
var template = $("#parent").children().last();
template.attr("id","child_2"); //just a sample of dynamic id
$("#parent").append(template);
But this doesn't work

You need to clone() a copy of the child before you append it, otherwise you just put the current element back in its original position.
var template = $("#parent").children().last().clone();
Working example

Try with this:
var html = $("#parent").html();
var i = 1;
$("button").on("click",function(){
i++;
$("#parent").append(html.replace('id="child_1"','id="child_' + i + '"'));
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id = "parent">
<div id = "child_1">
<div><input type = "text"></div>
<div><input type = "text"></div>
//several inputs and divs
</div>
</div>
<button>Click</button>

Using jquery to toggle div when parent div is visible

I have several parent div tags with same class which contain two children divs one of which is hidden. Only one parent is shown at a time. I have a button which moves through the parent one at a time by show the next and hiding the previous. A second button has to toggle the two children divs of a parent when its visible, it however only works for the first parent and not the others.. pls sample html below.. help is much appreciated.. Thanks
<div class="parent" >
<div id="child1"> text </div>
<div id="child2" style="display:none"> text </div>
</div>
<div class="parent" style="display:none" >
<div id="child1"> text </div>
<div id="child2" style="display:none"> text </div>
</div>
<div class="parent" style="display:none" >
<div id="child1"> text </div>
<div id="child2" style="display:none"> text </div>
</div>
scripts to move through parent :
$(function () {
$(".parent:first").fadeIn(); // show first step
$("#next-step").val('Continue');
$("#back-step").hide().click(function () {
var $step = $(".parent:visible");
if ($step.prev().hasClass("parent")) { // is there any previous step?
$step.hide().prev().fadeIn(); // show it and hide current step
}
});
$("#next-step").click(function () {
var $step = $(".parent:visible");
if ($step.next().hasClass("parent")) {
$step.hide().next().fadeIn();
$("#back-step").show(); // recall to show backStep button
}
else { // this is last step, submit form
//$("#next-step").hide();
$("form").submit();
}
});
});
script for button to toggle children for each current visible parent div
$('.txtFlip').on('click', function(event) {
$('.parent:visible > #child1').slideToggle();
$('.parent:visible > #child2').slideToggle();
});
My problem now is the script to toggle child1 and child2 for each current visible parent. It only works for the first parent but not the rest. Help plz...
Thanks......

You can use jQuery's :visible selector to pick which element is currently visible and toggle based on that.
bindLoopThrough = function($button, initial_selector){
// Define a function that will apply for both sets of buttons,
// because they have similar functionality
$button.on("click", function(){
var $current = $(initial_selector),
$next = $current.next();
if($next.length===0){
$next = $current.siblings().eq(0); // Reached end, get first.
}
$current.hide();
$next.show();
});
}
bindLoopThrough($("#button1"), ".parent:visible");
bindLoopThrough($("#button2"), ".parent:visible .child:visible");

getting input box value undefined in alert box

I want to get input field value. Only based on class and id name.
I am getting undefined in alert box.
Not getting any value which i have entered in input box.
HTML
<div id="tab1" class="tab-pane active">
<div class="input-text">
<div class="input-append">
<input id="textData" class="input-xxlarge" type="text" name="inputName" />
<button id="pressme" class="btn btn-success btn-large" type="button">Convert</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JS
$('#pressme').on({
'click': function () {
var data = $(".tab-pane active #textData").val();
alert(data);
}
});

.tab-pane active looks for an <active> element inside of an element with a class of tab-pane. The correct selector for an element with those two classes would be .tab-pane.active., but since your element has an id, just select it using an id selector:
$("#textData").val();

You can use the selector as your text box id enough
var data = $("#textData").val();

Your selector is incorrect as the div has both classes, so you need to join them together like this:
var data = $(".tab-pane.active #textData").val();
Note that id selectors should be unique, so in effect the class selector is redundant anyway.

It will be like
$('#pressme').on({
'click': function () {
var data = $(".tab-pane.active #textData").val();
alert(data);
}
});
Makesure that you have enclosed it on DOM ready

TRY THIS:
$('#pressme').on('click',function () {
var data = $("#textData").val();
alert(data);
});

jQuery: Finding elements which contain certain text

I have a calendar with an event list below it on my page. When the user clicks on the next or previous button, I want to populate a div with the contents of rows only containing the currently displayed month and year on the calendar. Here's the structure of the rows (created with Drupal 7 Views).
<div id="all-events">
<div class="views-rows">
<div class="field-date">
<div class="field-content">
<span>June 2011</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="views-rows">
<div class="field-event-title">
<div class="field-content">
<span>Some Event</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I got this far with jQuery, but I'm getting a huge list of errors:
$('#calendar span.fc-button-next').live('click', function(){
var month = $('#calendar .fc-header-title h2').html();
$('.event-list').fadeOut(350, function(){
$(this).html('');
$('#all-events').each('.views-rows',function(){
// Code goes here...
});
});
});
I should also mention that I'm using FullCalendar to create the calendar, so it's created with this plugin. Right now I can get the current month the user is viewing, but I want to go through the list and find all rows that contain this month and display them in the .event-list div.

I couldn't fully understand what you want, but to filter elements by its text use filter
<div>text 1</div>
<div> not this text </div>
JS
$("div").filter(function(){
return $(this).text().indexOf("text 1") >= 0; // if contains desired text
}).html("this one matches 'text 1'");
See this example on jsFiddle

This seems wrong:
$('#all-events').each('.views-rows',function(){...});
How about this:
$('.views-rows', '#all-events').each(function(){...});

Since version 1.1.4, jQuery has a contains selector to select elements containing a specific text.
$('#calendar span.fc-button-next').live('click', function(){
var month = $('#calendar .fc-header-title h2').html();
$('.event-list').fadeOut(350, function(){
var event_list = $(this).html('');
$('#all-events .views-rows:contains(' + month + ')').each(function(){
event_list.append($(this).html);
});
event_list.fadeIn();
});
});
