Get href attribute on click event with Javascript and Framework7

I'm struggling with a very simple problem that I can't solve.
I'm using Framework7 (JS Framework for mobile application) and I have two list in my page:
First list:
<ul>
<li>
<a id="android" class="link external" target="_blank" href="android_link"></a>
</li>
<li>
<a id="iOS" class="link external" target="_blank" href="ios_link"></a>
</li>
<li>
<a id="windows" class="link external" target="_blank" href="windows_link"></a>
</li>
</ul>
Second list:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="fb_link" target="_blank" class="item-link item-content link external" id="facebook">
<div class="item-media">
<i class="f7-icons">logo_facebook</i>
</div>
<div class="item-inner">
<div class="item-title">Facebook</div>
</div>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href=instagram_link" target="_blank" class="item-link item-content link external" id="instagram">
<div class="item-media">
<i class="f7-icons">logo_instagram</i>
</div>
<div class="item-inner">
<div class="item-title">Instagram</div>
</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
So, I need to take the href attribute on click event. I wrote this:
Dom7('.link.external').on('click', (event) => {
// First try
href = event.target.getAttribute('href')
console.log(href)
// Second trye
console.log(event.srcElement.href)
// Third try
var href = Dom7('a.link.external').attr('href');
var id = Dom7('a.link.external').attr('id');
console.log(href)
console.log(id)
})
I've tried three different solutions, but none of them work.
The first one and second one works only for the first list, I think because the <a> tag doesn't contains html inside.
The third one always return me the href and id of the first elements of the first list (android), even if I click in the second list.
Can you help me to solve this problem?

Solution 1
<ul>
<li>
<a id="android" class="link external" target="_blank" href="android_link" onclick="linkClicked(this); return false;"></a>
</li>
</ul>
<script>
function linkClicked(object) {
consile.log(object.getAttribute("href"));
return false;
}
</script>
Solution 2
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('link');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].addEventListener('click', linkClicked, false);
}
function linkClicked() {
console.log(this.getAttribute("href"));
};

if you can use jquery, use this working code :
$('.link.external').on('click', (event) => {
href = event.target.getAttribute('href');
alert(href);
});

How should I populate nested elements using jquery?

I want to display NEWS headines on my website. I want to populate it using Jquery. I have written the code but nothing is displayed on webpage.
HTML code:
<div class="col-md-4">
<div id="sidebar-wrapper">
<ul class="sidebar-nav">
<strong>Latest Headines</strong>
<li>
<a href="" class="title">
<h2> </h2>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="" class="title">
<h2> </h2>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="" class="title">
<h2> </h2>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="" class="title">
<h2> </h2>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="" class="title">
<h2> </h2>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
JS code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.getJSON('https://newsapi.org/v1/articles?source=techcrunch&sortBy=top&apiKey=my-api-key',function(json) {
console.log(json);
console.log(json.articles.length);
function headlines (json) {
for(var i=0;i<5;i++){
$('.sidebar-nav li a h2').eq(i).html(json.articles[i].title);
}
}
});
});
I have made a class called sidebar then inside class I have placed list and anchor followed by <h2></h2> tag. I want to populate h2 tag with NEWS headlines but nothing is displayed on my webpage.

$('.sidebar-nav li').eq(i).find('h2').html(...)
li is the Nth element you're looking for, not h2.
For that matter, you should cache the nav element or the lis, to avoid hammering the DOM :
var $lis = $('.sidebar-nav li')
for(var i=0;i<5;i++){
$lis[i].find('h2').html(json.articles[i].title);
}

First of all: You don't call your function headlines so nothing goes to output ;)
Second one:
$('.sidebar-nav li a h2').eq(i)
will only work for the first item i think, because there is only 1 H2-Tag within the a-Tag.
I suggest giving all H"-Tag a class like ".headline" and itterating over them.
I hope this helps ;)

Append a child element to another div while having a reference to the orginal parent element

I have this html code
<div id="left-container" class="w3-container w3-left">
<div class="wordDiv w3-container w3-pale-green w3-leftbar w3-border-green w3-hover-border-red">
<h1>Give</h1>
<h3>Selected Definition:</h3>
<ul style="display:none;">
<li> offer in good faith </li>
<li> inflict as a punishment </li>
<li> afford access to </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="wordDiv w3-container w3-pale-green w3-leftbar w3-border-green w3-hover-border-red">
<h1>Up</h1>
<h3>Selected Definition:</h3>
<ul style="display:none;">
<li> to a higher intensity </li>
<li> to a later time </li>
<li> used up </li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="right-container" class="w3-container w3-right"></div>
I want the user, once he click on one of the wordDiv's, to be able to see the potential definitions of that word in the right container (which are found in the "ul" element of each "wordDiv"), select one of the definitions, then I want to display the selected definition in the original wordDiv in the left-container.
You can found Jsfiddle Demo Here

A solution using jQuery. Updated Fiddle
$(function() {
$('.wordDiv').click(function() {
var txt = $(this).find('ul').html();
$('#right-container').html('<ul>' + txt + '</ul>')
})
})

Please check this fiddle
I have added li elements to another div based on the div which you are selected.

You can use the jQuery this variable in the click function, here is a working jQuery example of your request Updated Fiddle
It puts the li elements in the right div AND adds the onclick listener, which has the knowlege of its origin ;)
$('h1').click(function(){
var origin=$(this);
$(this).siblings('ul').children().click(function(){
$(this).parent().hide();
$(origin).parent().append(this);
$(this).replaceWith($('<div>' + this.innerHTML + '</div>'))
})
$(this).siblings('ul').show();
$("#right-container").append($(this).siblings('ul'));
})
$('ldi').click(function(){
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().append(this);
$(this).replaceWith($('<div>' + this.innerHTML + '</div>'))
})

Need an element's parent index using jquery or javascript

I have three <ul>s that expand when their buttons are clicked. Not all three <ul>s will show up - only when there is a notification to show. I hard-coded the values for now, but I can instantiate them on an as-needed basis.
Right now, they cover each other when they expand. I would like the others to move when a list is expanded so they don't cover each other. I was thinking of getting the index of the one whose button is clicked and then resetting the bottom style of the others. I need to get the index of the <ul> parent of the button that was clicked, probably using jQuery but straight JavaScript is fine as well. Can anyone help?
Here is my code:
<div id="NotificationDiv">
<ul id="noticeLead" class="notification_base notification_Lead"><button id="notification_button">Lead Notice</button>
<div>
<li id="urlLead" class="notification_urlNotice notification_notice">
<a target="_blank" >Check Lead #1</a>
</li>
<li id="urlLead" class="notification_urlNotice notification_notice">
<a target="_blank" >Check Lead #2</a>
</li>
</div>
</ul>
<ul id="noticeTask" class="notification_base notification_Task"><button id="notification_button">Task Notice</button>
<div>
<li id="urlTask" class="notification_urlNotice notification_notice">
<a target="_blank" >Check Task #5</a>
</li>
<li id="urlTask" class="notification_urlNotice notification_notice">
<a target="_blank" >Check Task #6</a>
</li>
<div>
</ul>
<ul id="noticePolicy" class="notification_base notification_Policy"><button id="notification_button">Policy Notice</button>
<div>
<li id="urlPolicy" class="notification_urlNotice notification_notice">
<a target="_blank" >Check Policy #3</a>
</li>
<li id="urlPolicy" class="notification_urlNotice notification_notice">
<a target="_blank" >Check Policy #4</a>
</li>
</div>
</ul>
</div>
And in the $(document).ready, I have:
$('.notification_base').on('click', 'button', function(){
$(this).closest('.notification_base').find('.notification_urlNotice').slideToggle();
});

Try this:
var myParentId; //Here you'll store the id of the clicked element
$('.notification_base').on('click', 'button', function(){
$(this).closest('.notification_base').find('.notification_urlNotice').slideToggle();
myParentId = $(this).attr("id");
});

Thank you everyone for your input. I changed my structure to a table assigning .parent class to the header row and .child class to the data row and put this code in the jQuery ready function and it works great.
function getChildren($row) {
var children = [];
while($row.next().hasClass('child')) {
children.push($row.next());
$row = $row.next();
}
return children;
}
$('.parent').on('click', function() {
var children = getChildren($(this));
$.each(children, function() {
$(this).toggle();
})
});

Access names of checked nodes without all the sub nodes' names

I'm using jstree and I want to access the IDs and names of all checked nodes in my HTML tree in order to present them together in a summary.
This is my code:
$("#summary").click(function () {
var id_arr = new Array();
var text_arr = new Array();
$("#tree").jstree('get_checked').each(function (index) {
id_arr.push($(this).attr("id"));
text_arr.push($(this).text());
});
alert("Your Selection: " + id_arr.join() + " " + text_arr.join());
});
While id_arr.push($(this).attr("id")); returns only the IDs of the relevant checked nodes (only the parent node ID when all children of the parent node are checked as well), text_arr.push($(this).text()); returns all the names of the checked nodes (name of checked parent and names of all of its children).
Do you have any ideas how to return only the names of the checked parent?
I already considered adding a hidden HTML attribute (as in <li id="123"> <a title="ID:123" hidden="name of node 123">name of node 123</a></li>) to my tree nodes and using .attr("hidden") instead of accessing node.text() but I think that there must be a better solution.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Update:
The HTML of the tree (my real tree is quite extensive but I think this one will do):
<div id="tree">
<li id="123"> <a title="ID:123">tree</a>
<ul>
<li id="234"> <a title="ID:234">leaf tree</a>
<ul>
<li id="345"> <a title="ID:345">oak</a>
<ul>
<li id="456"> <a title="ID:456">white oak</a></li>
<li id="567"> <a title="ID:567">German oak</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="678"> <a title="ID:678">lime</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="789"> <a title="ID:789">conifer</a>
<ul>
<li id="890"> <a title="ID:890">pine</a></li>
<li id="901"> <a title="ID:901">spruce</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</div>
Example: When choosing "oak", the return should be only "345 oak" and not "345 oak white oak German oak".
By the way, my idea with "hidden" doesn't work, because the elements written in there are, well, hidden.

I found a solution:
text_arr.push($(this).find("a:first").text());
The result of .text() is a string containing the combined text of all matched elements; in this case all text contained between the li-tags of the element referenced by $(this), including the text of the sub nodes.
By adding .find("a:first").text() only the text between the first a-tag is contained in the string.
