I have the following HTML structure and JavaScript file:
.html
<li>
<button class="show-more"></button>
some more elements
<div class="hidden"></div>
</li>
JavaScript
$( ".show-more" ).click(function() {
event.preventDefault();
$( this ).next().slideToggle( "fast", function() {
});
});
I need the click event to toggle the next first instance of .hidden, however the click event is targeting the first element after it and not the next instance of .hidden, any ideas how I can go about it?
nextAll and first:
$(this).nextAll('.hidden').first().slideToggle(...);
This question has more about this: Efficient, concise way to find next matching sibling?
Another possible solution:
$('~.hidden:first', this).slideToggle("fast");
This will match for the first, next sibling of the class .hidden in the context of this.
The ~-selector will reach all following siblings.

I have an issue with a show of a parent div at onclick.
As here:
$('#click').click(function() {
$(this).parent().closest('div').slideToggle("fast");
});
http://jsfiddle.net/bk1hLoyb/
I need to show the .show div at the li click, and i need to hide the first when i click another.
Someone know's a method?
Thanks so much
Id's should be unique on the page.
$('.click').click(function() {
$('.show').hide();
$(this).find('.show').slideToggle("fast");
});
http://jsfiddle.net/bk1hLoyb/11/
First Id's must be unique so change it for:
<li class="click">
Bye
<div class="show">Hey</div>
</li>
and the code change it for:
$('.click').click(function() {
$(this).find('div').slideToggle("fast");
});
LIVE DEMO
Some suggestions:
remove all duplicate IDs
if you must use a selector on the li elements, use a class
.show is a child of the li that's clicked, so there's no need to use .parent() or .closest().
Code:
$('.click').click(function() {
$('.show', this).slideToggle("fast");
});
DEMO
BONUS
$(elm).find('.selector') is equivalent to $('.selector', elm)
Also written as jQuery( selector [, context ] )
When context is not specified, it is assumed to be document
Thus $(elm) is equivalent to $(elm, document)
On your "li"s change the id to a class so you can reference multiple divs.
Then on the script looks like this:
$('.click a').click(function() {
var item = $(this);
$(this).parent().siblings().find('.show').slideUp(400,function(){
item.parent().find('.show').slideDown(400);
});
});
See it working on your fiddle (sorry for updating without forking)
How do i even put these, let me try. In the following sets of codes, i want to click 'parentclass' and have an alert value of 'child1' and when i click the class below it which is 'Parent 2' have an alert fire with a value of 'child2'
So this must alert the content of that class only and not the entire class.
Here's some Javascript in Jquery.
var childclass = $('.childclass').html();
$('.parentclass').click(function(e) {
alert (childclass)
});
$('.childclass').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation()
e.preventDefault()
});
And HTML
<a href="" onClick="return false">
<div class='parentclass'>
Parent 1
<div style="display:none" class="childclass">child1</div>
</div>
</a>
<a href="" onClick="return false">
<div class='parentclass'>
Parent 2
<div style="display:none" class="childclass">child2</div>
</div>
</a>
This line var childclass = $('.childclass').html(); doesnt make sense as it doesn't know which element in particular you mean. The result of that will just be child1child2 which is just a concatenation of the .html() of all the elements with class childclass. This is obviously not what you want.
Therefore you should dynamically find the child with a class of childclass upon receiving the click event.
$('.parentclass').click(function(e) {
alert($(this).find('.childclass').html())
});
Also, you should know that your child class event handler is useless as we don't care if the event gets propogated downwards. If you DID care, then your e.stopPropagation() and e.preventDefault() should be in the event handler of the parent class.
You need to fetch the html of the clicked parent element within the click handler
$('.parentclass').click(function (e) {
alert($(this).find('.childclass').html())
});
$('.childclass').click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation()
e.preventDefault()
});
Demo: Fiddle
Several ways you can go about this.
First, if your HTML will not be dynamic (elements already exist when page loads), then you can select elements by the parent class name and assign click event as so:
$('.parentclass').click(function(e) {
// the first variable here is selecting the inner elements having class 'childclass'
// keep in mind, if more than one child having that class is present within this parent, it will select all of them
var child = $(this).find('.childclass');
// here we alert the text of the inner child found
// if it is more than one, you will have undesired results. you may want to specify `.first()`
alert(child.text())
})
For newer jQuery you can also use $('.parentclass').on('click', function(e) {.
If you expect any pieces of parentclass to be dynamic, then you'll want to delegate the event based on either a static parent to the parents or document. This can be like so:
$(document).on('click', '.parentclass', function(e) {
alert($(this).find('.childclass').text())
})
Or, if you have a static (already there when page loads) wrapping element, give it an ID like `parentClassWrapper' and assign the click event dynamically as:
$('#parentClassWrapper').on('click', '.parentclass', function(e) {
alert($(this).find('.childclass').text())
})

I made several adjustments to your html that are worth noting. There's no need for the <a> tag. Don't use inline js - onlick in your html. Note that I wrapped the text inside of the div in the <a> tag instead. This markup is more semantic. Also, move your styles to css rather than in the html.
<div class="parent">
<a>Parent 1</a>
<a class="child">child of parent 1 contents</a>
</div>
<div class="parent">
<a>Parent 2</a>
<a class="child">child of parent 2 contents</a>
</div>
css:
.parent > .child { /* good practice: only select an immediate child of the parent */
display: none;
}
The other answers here are using find() to select the child, but I recommend children() instead. For example, if you had additional nested .childs, find() will select them all, but children() will only select direct .childs of the parent, so it is better in this case. I also recommend using the console for debugging rather than alert.
Live demo here (click).
$('.parent').click(function() {
var $child = $(this).children('.child');
var cls = $child.attr('class');
console.log(cls);
$child.show(); //added so that you can click the child
});
$('.child').click(function() {
var html = $(this).html();
console.log(html);
//if you just want the text, use this instead:
var text = $(this).text();
console.log(text);
});
I'm trying to implement the jQuery toggle item in my Rails 3.2.1 app.
I would like the toggle to work for each individual <li> item on the <ul>, so I can target which element to hide/show individually. But for some reason, only the top element has the toggle effect; the rest are not responding.
Here's the jsFiddle.
Can anyone explain why this is happening?
It’s because your divs all have the same id, which is invalid HTML. Since the DOM is only expecting there to be one element with any given ID, then when you write $("#trigger"), it only selects the first one it finds. Change the ID to a class.
<div class="trigger"> ...
And change your ID selector to a class selector.
$('.trigger').click(/* ... */);
jsFiddle
ID attributes must be unique on the page. Change all the id="trigger" to class="trigger" then try:
$(".trigger").click(function (){
$(this).find('.menu-item').toggle();
});
JSFIDDLE
$(".trigger").click('.menu-item', function () {
$(".menu-item", this).toggle();
});
Multiple elements with the same id is invalid HTML, and jQuery will only target the first that it finds with that id.
I updated your fiddle to use a class instead of ids
<div id="trigger" class="trigger">
Then:
$(".trigger").click(function (){
$(".menu-item", this).toggle();
});
to target the class and not the id.
Why do the elements have the same ids? An ID should be unique. If you want to select all the <li>s, use a CSS selector like $(".toggle-li").
I have several of these html blocks on a page in this structure
<div class="listing">
<h4>Some test Entry here</h4>
<div class="entry clearfix">
<a href="#" class="btn">
Text Here
</a>
</div>
</div>
I have the click event on the '.entry .btn' which is firing fine. But I want to get the inner text of the 'H4 a' within the same listing block as the btn I clicked. I have tried the following but just cannot seem to get the H4 text.
var getTitle = $(this).parents("h4").first();
alert(getTitle.html());
I have also tried closest() but still cannot get the H4? Any ideas?
closest & parents looks for ancestors. But, h4 is in another children of parent .listing.
Try:
var getTitle = $(this).closest('.listing').find("h4").first();
Firstly You need to traverse upwards in the DOM structure to identify the target element using .parent() or .parents() functions.
For your requirement you dont need the immediate parent hence .parent() is of no use instead you need to use .parents() to get all the ancestors in the DOM and refer the one with class selector .listing & finally traverse inward to find the target element h4.
JS CODE:
$('.btn').on('click',function(){
alert($(this).parents('.listing').find('h4').html());
});

Happy Coding :)
use prev function in jquery
var getTitle = $(this).prev().find("h4").first();
alert(getTitle.html());
I am trying to find the next div using Jquery. Here is the code:
$('.menu-item').hover(function() {
$(this).stop(true, true).addClass("menu-item-hover", 300);
$(this).next('div').stop(true, true).fadeIn(300);
}, function() {
$(this).stop(true, true).removeClass("menu-item-hover", 300);
$(this).next('div').stop(true, true).fadeOut(300);
});
<div class="menu-item"><h1>Media</h1></div>
<div id="tooltip-media">Sights and sounds from Cambodia</div>
<div class="menu-item"><h1>About</h1></div>
<div id="tooltip-about">Who in the world is the Phillips Family?</div>
Simple. The toolip-* divs are hidden in css. I want the next one in the code to show on hover of the menu-item. I have checked other questions and none of them work for my case. I am using both Jquery and Jquery UI. Thanks for any help.
try this
$(this).parent().next('div').stop(true, true).fadeIn(300);
in your example , you are trying to find next div but it is not sibiling of menu item.
that only it did not work. traverse to parent and find next div it will work.
parent() , next()
First of all, .next() only grabs the immediate next sibling, it won't search through all sibilings. In order to do that, you would need to invoke .nextAll('div'). But even this function would not help you here, because that <div> nodes you are looking for are not contained by the same parent element.
You should go like
$( this ).parent().next( 'div[id^=tooltip]' ).stop( true, true ).fadeOut( 300 );
