<div class="group_list_table_row" group_id="10">
<div class="group_name">Name of Course</div>
<div class="group_list_edit_row" style="left: 215px;">
Click me.
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* This triggers when update button is clicked. */
$( ".update_group" ).click(function(event) {
var value = $(this).parent().parent().text();
alert(value);
event.preventDefault();
</script>
I was trying to get the text only of group_name class which is "Name of Course". However, the result of alert(value) also includes "Click me." and "Name of Course". Need help on this.
You can do this easier:
<script type="text/javascript">
/* This triggers when update button is clicked. */
$( ".update_group" ).click(function(event) {
var value = $('.group_name').text();
alert(value);
event.preventDefault();
});
</script>
Try this:
$(".update_group").click(function(event) {
var value = $(".group_name").text();
alert(value);
event.preventDefault();
});
as long as the previous answers provide a proper solution you might be interested why yours does not work, and this is because the ".group_name" element is not a parent of the parent of your element, as you might expected. It is apparently not a parent at all, containing only plaint text inside.
Therefore the $(this).parent().parent() call returns the ".group_list_table_row" element, that contains the two other divs and it's text is the concatenation of their contents.
A some indentation and things will be obvious:
<div class="group_list_table_row" group_id="10"> /*parent 2*/
<div class="group_name">Name of Course</div>
<div class="group_list_edit_row" style="left: 215px;"> /*parent 1*/
Click me.
</div>

I would like to check if the text exist in the div element, so that if text matches the text in div it will alert "hello". May I know how am I able to achieve this result? Thank you.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var text = "div[style*=\"width: 550px;\"]";
if (#content.indexOf(text) > -1){
alert("Hello");
}
});
</script>
<div id="content">
<div style="width:550px;">James</div>
<div style="width:500px;">Amy</div>
</div>
Here you go with a solution https://jsfiddle.net/9kLnvyqm/
if($('#content').text().length > 0) { // Checking the text inside a div
// Condition to check the text match
if($('#content').text().indexOf('Amy')){
console.log('Hello');
}
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="content">
<div style="width:550px;">James</div>
<div style="width:500px;">Amy</div>
</div>
If you want only the text content from a container then use text(), if you are looking for html content then use html().
Hope this will help you.
It is possible to get the value of inline style of an element.
var wid = $("#content > div")[0].style.width;
if(wid === "550px"){
//correct width detected. you can use alert instead of console.log
console.log("hello");
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="content">
<div style="width:550px;">James</div>
<div style="width:500px;">Amy</div>
</div>
You have multiple elements inside #content. you may want to use the return value of
$('#content').children().length;
and loop the program to get inline width of all elements. Ping if you need some help with the loop
This html code was generated of my php code, but I copied this out of the HTML code of the browser.
The console.log prints out undefined. I don't know why. It's probably a really dumb mistake, like always. Thank you for your help.
$('.show').click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var div = $("div#" + id);
console.log(div.html());
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h3>Heading <a href='#' class='show' id='2962'>+</a></h3>
<div class='.slidetoggle' id='2962' style='display: none;'>
<p>Test!</p>
</div>
It's because the .show element is an a, not a div. The selector is wrong:
var div = $("a#" + id);
Update:
You are right, but I want to show the div, not the a
In this case you need to use DOM traversal to find the relevant element. Your current code doesn't work as you have duplicate id attributes. This is invalid as they must be unique. Try this:
$('.show').click(function() {
$(this).closest('h3').next('.slidetoggle').slideToggle();
});
.slidetoggle { display: none; }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h3>Heading +</h3>
<div class="slidetoggle">
<p>Test!</p>
</div>
<h3>Another Heading +</h3>
<div class="slidetoggle">
<p>Another Test!</p>
</div>
I don't have the reputation to comment yet so I will have to give it as an answer, but the element you want is an nchor but your jQuery selector is targeting a element.
I have several divs with the same class names and varying IDs. The ID is not set for the text I need to target
I need to target the Telephone Call text. If the div contains that text, how do I hide the containing div
<div id="rn_FieldDisplay_155" class="rn_FieldDisplay rn_Output">
<span class="rn_DataLabel">Telephone Call </span>
<div class="rn_DataValue">No</div>
</div>
I have tried the following to no avail
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".rn_FieldDisplay > span:contains('Telephone Call')").hide ();
});
</script>
If your code is hiding the span, but not the parent div, you can target the div to be hidden using mostly the same code you already wrote.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".rn_FieldDisplay > span:contains('Telephone Call')").parent().hide();
});
</script>
Try selecting it's child instead of the element itself :
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".rn_FieldDisplay *:contains('Telephone Call')").hide ();
});
Try with find() function
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".rn_FieldDisplay").find(":contains('Telephone Call')").hide ();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="rn_FieldDisplay_155" class="rn_FieldDisplay rn_Output">
<span class="rn_DataLabel">Telephone Call </span>
<div class="rn_DataValue">No</div>
<p class="rn_DataLabel">Telephone Call </p>
</div>
Well you can try this:
if ($(".rn_FieldDisplay > span:contains('Telephone Call')").length > 0) {
$(".rn_FieldDisplay > span").hide();
}
I am building a "edit profile" page.
Here is what I want to do:
In each section, the employer will be shown and the edit form will be hidden.
When I click the "edit employer" button, the edit form will be shown and the employer will be hidden.
Here is what I did using jQuery. It does not work when I click on the "edit employer" button. I do not know why this does not work.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script
src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="edit">
<form class="editForm">
employer: <input type="text" value="Citigroup" />
</form>
<div class="contents">Employer: Citigroup</div>
<button class="editButton">Edit Employer</button>
</div>
<script>
$('div.edit').each(function(i) {
$(this).children('.editForm').hide();
})
$('div.edit').each(function() {
$(this).children('.editButton').click(function() {
$(this).children('.editForm').show();
$(this).children('.contents').hide();
});
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
The $(this) inside the click function contains the local instance of the $(this).children('.editButton'). For that reason your code is not finding any .editForm elements.
For this to work you could do something like this:
<script>
$('div.edit').each(function(i) {
$(this).children('.editForm').hide();
})
$('div.edit').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
$(this).children('.editButton').click(function() {
$this.children('.editForm').show();
$this.children('.contents').hide();
});
})
</script>
If I may I would improve the code with some more changes:
<script>
$('.edit .editForm').hide(); // this will hide all instances of .editForm
$('.edit .editButton').click(function() { //assign 1 handler for all cases
$(this).siblings('.editForm').show(); // show the sibling edit form
$(this).siblings('.contents').hide(); // hide the sibling contents element
});
</script>
Reference:
Sibling Selector: https://api.jquery.com/siblings/#siblings-selector
The problem is the this inside the click handler referring to the button, not the div.edit. Here's one way to fix this:
$('div.edit').each(function(i) {
$(this).children('.editForm').hide();
});
$('div.edit').each(function() {
var $self = $(this);
$(this).children('.editButton').click(function() {
$self.children('.editForm').show();
$self.children('.contents').hide();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="edit">
<form class="editForm">
employer:
<input type="text" value="Citigroup" />
</form>
<div class="contents">Employer: Citigroup</div>
<button class="editButton">Edit Employer</button>
</div>
You don't need to use .each() at all. Just do an .click() event on the class of .editButton and use this to find its parent. If you want to make a toggle, you're going to have to make use of a new class or something of that nature to make a conditional statement off of.
//This will hide *ANY* .editForm elements
$('.editForm').hide();
//This will fire off of *ANY* editButton clicks.
$('.editButton').click(function() {
var form = $(this).closest('.edit'); //Get the wrapper
if(form.hasClass('open')) { //Check to see if it is open or not
form.removeClass('open').addClass('close'); //Toggle Classes
form.find('.editForm').show();
form.find('.contents').hide();
} else {
form.removeClass('close').addClass('open');
form.find('.editForm').hide();
form.find('.contents').show();
}
});
I like to use closest and find more than parent and children (respectively). They can go 1-many layers up or down and search the hierarchy for whatever you're looking for, rather than parent and children going up or down a single layer.
If you are inserting your .edit form after the DOM loads, you're going to need to bind your click event to the document
$(document).on('click', '.editButton', function() {
var form = $(this).closest('.edit');
form.find('.editForm').hide();
form.find('.contents').show();
});
How would I make this jQuery shorter? I assume there must be a better way of working than this!?
(bare in mind I am new to jQuery)...
<script>
jQuery(function() {
var White = jQuery("#white").hide();
jQuery("#firstpagename").on("click", function() {
White.toggle();
});
});
</script>
<script>
jQuery(function() {
var Black2 = jQuery("#v2black").hide();
jQuery("#secondpagename").on("click", function() {
Black2.toggle();
});
});
</script>
<script>
jQuery(function() {
var Black3 = jQuery("#v3black").hide();
jQuery("#thirdpagename").on("click", function() {
Black3.toggle();
});
});
</script>
Any help or directions would be greatt as I am down to the last step on this site and want it finished :)
You could use some extra data attribute and an extra class on your links to make it a little shorter.
So let's say your html looks like this:
<div id="white">white</div>
<div id="v2black">v2black</div>
<div id="v3black">v3black</div>
<div id="firstpagename" class="toggle" data-for="white">toggle white</div>
<div id="secondpagename" class="toggle" data-for="v2black">toggle v2bacl</div>
<div id="thirdpagename" class="toggle" data-for="v3black">toggle v3black</div>
then your jquery can rewritten like this:
jQuery(function() {
$('.toggle').on('click', function() {
var id = $(this).attr('data-for');
$('#' + id).toggle();
});
});
So it looks like we're trying to recreate standard "accordion" behaviour. Depending on the layout of your page, it can be helpful to encapsulate your items if possible. Here is one possible solution to make things that open and close. jsFiddle
<div id="white" class="panel">
<div class="tab"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
<div id="v2black" class="panel">
<div class="tab"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
<div id="v3black" class="panel">
<div class="tab"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
<script>
jQuery(".tab").on("click", function() {
$(this).closest('.panel').find('.content').toggle();
});
</script>
First we condensed the code into one script tag and one document ready statement, since having it in 3 pieces was only adding bloat.
Then I made sure to chose $ as the parameter for the doc ready callback. jQuery will kindly pass it one argument jQuery so inside our code block we can safely use $ even if outside our code-block it was reserved for other purposes.
Here the .tabs control their .content by traversing up to the nearest .panel and back down. In this way the same behaviour can control all 3.
If however your "tabs" can't be encapsulated like this you can always associate them to the content they are to show/hide in another way. We'll just need to see your html.
<script>
jQuery(function() {
var White = jQuery("#white").hide();
jQuery("#firstpagename").on("click", function() {
White.toggle();
var Black2 = jQuery("#v2black").hide();
jQuery("#secondpagename").on("click", function() {
Black2.toggle();
});
var Black3 = jQuery("#v3black").hide();
jQuery("#thirdpagename").on("click", function() {
Black3.toggle();
});
});
</script>
for the start. If you have many more elements, you might want to loop through a buttonid<>toggleid map:
var map = {
"white": "firstpagename",
"v2black": "secondpagename",
...
};
for (var toggler in map)
makeToggle(toggler, map[toggler]);
function makeToggle(togglerid, pageid) {
var page = $(document.getElementById(pageid)).hide();
$(document.getElementById(togglerid)).click(function() {
page.toggle();
});
}
