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>

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");

Changing content in a div when a link is clicked

I am trying to change a div content box when a link above that box is clicked. I added a click function to the individual buttons then the corresponding dive containing the content for that particular box should be displayed.
When I apply the jQuery to the page, the content does not change according to the link that is clicked and the page displays awkwardly.
This is the jsfiddle I'm working with.
The webpage I'm working with is here.
Place where am i making the mistake.
The jQuery I'm working with so far looks like this
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.question1').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').load('#answer1');
})
$('.question2').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').load('#answer2');
})
$('.question3').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').load('#answer3');
})
$('.question4').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').load('#answer4');
})
});//end of ready
The HTML I'm working with looks like this :
<div class="new_member_box">
<h4>Vision</h4>
</div>
<div class="new_member_box">
<h4>Church History</h4>
</div>
<div class="new_member_box">
<h4>Becoming a Member</h4>
</div>
<div class="new_member_box">
<h4>Pastor-in-Training</h4>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear" class="question"></div>
<div id="answer1">
1
</div>
<div id="answer2">
2
</div>
<div id="answer3">
3
</div>
<div id="answer4">
4
</div>
<div class="new_member_box_display" id="question">
Text will appear here when one of the tabs above is clicked
</div>

load() loads an external file with ajax, not elements on your page. You're probably just trying to hide and show elements :
$('[class^="question"]').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var numb = this.className.replace('question', '');
$('[id^="answer"]').hide();
$('#answer' + numb).show();
});
FIDDLE

Here's a fiddle that does what I think you're looking to do. There are cleaner ways to do it, but this should work.
http://jsfiddle.net/PZnSb/6/
Basically you want to set the inner html of one element to the inner html of another, like this:
$('.question1').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').html($('#answer1').html());
})
instead of this:
$('.question1').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').load('#answer1');
})

It seems you just want the text to change when you click, try this.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.question1').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').text($('.answer1 ').text());
});
$('.question2').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').text($('.answer2').text());
});
$('.question3').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').text($('.answer3').text());
});
$('.question4').click(function(){
$('.new_member_box_display').text($('.answer4').text());
});
});

Want to make inactive hyperlink

I have problem in hide and show the div element.
In this scenario when user click on the year the respect content is shown.
Problem I want to inactive hyperlinking on respective year when it is opened.
The script and html is below;
for this I have tried .preventDefault(). but not got any success:
<script type="text/javascript" >
$(document).ready(function() {
$("div.new:gt(0)").hide();// to hide all div except for the first one
$("div[name=arrow]:eq(0)").hide();
// $("div.nhide:gt(0)").hide();
// $("a[name=new]").hide();
$("a[name=new]").hide();
$('#content a').click(function(selected) {
var getID = $(this).attr("id");
var value= $(this).html();
if( value == '<< Hide')
{
// $("#" + getID + "arrow").hide();
$("a[name=new]").hide();
$("#" + getID + "_info" ).slideUp('slow');
$("div[name=arrow]").show();
$("div.new").hide();
$(this).hide();
// var getOldId=getID;
// $("#" + getID ).html('<< Hide').hide();
}
if($("a[name=show]"))
{
// $("div.new:eq(0)").slideUp()
$("div.new").hide();
$("div[name=arrow]").show();
$("a[name=new]").hide();
$("#news" + getID + "arrow").hide();
$("#news" + getID + "_info" ).slideDown();
$("#news" + getID ).html('<< Hide').slideDown();
}
});
});
</script>
The html code is below:
<div id="content">
<div class="news_year">
<a href="#" name="show" id="2012">
<div style="float:left;" name="year" id="news2012year">**2012** </div>
<div style="float:left;" name="arrow" id="news2012arrow">>></div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="new" id="news2012_info">
<div class="news">
<div class="news_left">News for 2012</div>
</div>
<div class="nhide" ><< Hide </div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div class="news_year">
<a href="#" name="show" id="2011">
<div style="float:left;" name="year" id="news2012year">2012 </div>
<div style="float:left;" name="arrow" id="news2012arrow">>></div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="new" id="news2011_info">
<div class="news">
<div class="news_left">News for 2011</div>
</div>
<div class="nhide" ><< Hide </div>
</div>
Fiddle

if i am understanding your problem,
event.preventDefault(); not works with all browser so if you are using other browser like IE
then use event.returnValue = false; instead of that.so you can detect your browser using javascript as
var appname = window.navigator.appName;

This is what I'm currently using in my projects to "disable" an anchor tag
Disabling the anchor:
Remove href attribute
Change the opacity for added effect
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function () {
$(this).fadeTo("fast", .5).removeAttr("href");
});
});
</script>
Enabling the anchor:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function () {
$(this).fadeIn("fast").attr("href", "http://whatever.com/wherever.html");
});
});
Original code can be found here

Add a class called 'shown' to your wrapper element when expanding your element and remove it when hiding it. Use .hasClass('shown') to ensure the inappropriate conditional is never executed.

Surround the code inside of the click function with an if statement checking to see if a variable is true or false. If it is false, it won't run the code, meaning the link is effectively inactive. Try this..
var isActive = true;
if (isActive) {
// Your code here
}
// The place where you want to de-activate the link
isActive = false;
You could also consider changing the link colour to a grey to signify that it is inactive.
Edit
Just realised that you want to have multiple links being disabled.. the code above will disable all of them. Try the code below (put the if around the code in the click function)
if(!$(this).hasClass("disabled")) {
// Your code here
}
// The place where you want to de-activate the link
$("#linkid").addClass("disabled");
// To re-enable a link
$("#linkid").removeClass("disabled");
// You can even toggle the link from disabled and non-disabled!
$("#linkid").toggleClass("disabled");
Then in your CSS you could have a declaration like this:
.disabled:link {
color:#999;
}

How to get class of item selected in jquery?

I have 2 images (.field-img) , wrapped in a container (.group-container),
each of the images are in a unique field id, so my tpl is broken down into
<div class=group-container>
<div id=field1>
<div class=field-img>
</div></div>
<div id=field2>
<div class=field-img>
</div></div>
</div>
my js is
$(".group-container .field-img").click(function() {
alert(".group-container .field-img");
what I would like is to detect automatically if the image belongs to field1 or field2.
So I could alert (".group-container .field1/2 .field-img");
How would I do this?
Thanks for any help

$(".group-container .field-img").click(function() {
var field=$(this).parent().attr('id');
});

An alternative to Izzey's solution is to use .closest with an attribute starts with selector (or classname because it would be more appropriate for those divs to have a common class)
$(".group-container .field-img").click(function() {
var field = $(this).closest("[id^=field]")[0].id;
});
or, with a common classname,
html
<div class=group-container>
<div class="field" id=field1>
<div class=field-img>
</div></div>
<div class="field" id=field2>
<div class=field-img>
</div></div>
</div>
js
$(".group-container .field-img").click(function() {
var field = $(this).closest(".field")[0].id;
});

$(".group-container .field-img").click(function() {
var field = this.parentNode.id;
alert (".group-container ." + field + " .field-img");
});

$(".group-container .field-img").each(function() {
$(this).click(function(){
var fieldid=$(this).parent().attr('id');
});
});

Since one element is inside the other, the click will propagate up anyway, so you could always just bind the click to the parent element and do :
$('div[id^="field"]').on('click', function() {
alert(".group-container "+this.id+" .field-img");
});
FIDDLE
or even get them all dynamically:
$('div[id^="field"]').on('click', function(e) {
alert('.'+this.parentNode.className+" "+this.id+" ."+e.target.className);
});
FIDDLE
