Determining which element was clicked and conditionally choosing which method to call

I am attempting to use JQuery to make 3 thumbnails into buttons that each open up their own page element with details regarding the picture.
Right now I have succeeded in making it so that any thumbnail causes a page element (of the class "description") to scroll open and closed when any thumbnail (from the class "thumbnail") is clicked.
How do I check which thumbnail is clicked on so that I can open a different description corresponding to that specific thumbnail? (This is what I was attempting to do with the "select").
var main = function() {
$('.thumbnail').click(function(select) {
var description = $('.game-descriptions').children('.description');
if( description.is(":hidden")) {
description.slideDown("slow");
}
else
description.hide();
});
}
$(document).ready(main);

Use a data attribute to specify what the thumbnail click is targeting, example: data-target="#game-1", add IDs to your descriptions that match and use data() to use the attribute value of #game-1 a jQuery selector.
Here is a demo
JS
$('.thumbnail').click(function() {
var gameId = $(this).data('target');
$(gameId).slideToggle().siblings(':visible').slideToggle();
});
HTML
<img class="thumbnail" data-target="#game-1" />
<img class="thumbnail" data-target="#game-2" />
<div class="game-descriptions">
<div id="game-1" class="description"></div>
<div id="game-2" class="description"></div>
</div>
Any toggling like toggle(), slideToggle(), fadeToggle() handles the is hidden or is visible

jsFiddle
The parameter to the click function is a jQuery event object, which can be useful in adding some event handling logic. However, within the context of the handler, this refers to the element which triggered the click event, and is typically sufficient for any targeted logic.
Assuming the thumbnails and descriptions have similarly named IDs, for example, you can do something like this:
$(function () {
$('.thumbnail').click(function (event) {
var descId = this.id.replace("thumb", "desc");
var description = $('.game-descriptions').children('#' + descId);
// or simply $("#" + descId);
description.toggle("slow");
});
});
HTML
<div>
<div class="thumbnail" id="thumb-1">Thumb 1</div>
<div class="thumbnail" id="thumb-2">Thumb 2</div>
<div class="thumbnail" id="thumb-3">Thumb 3</div>
</div>
<div class="game-descriptions">
<div class="description" id="desc-1">Description One</div>
<div class="description" id="desc-2">Description Two</div>
<div class="description" id="desc-3">Description Three</div>
</div>
Your technique for targeting the correct 'description' will depend on your actual DOM structure, however.
Also note that I substituted the toggle method for your if statement, as the logic you have is equivalent to what it does (i.e. toggling object visibility).

Jquery Show Hide with attribute

How to get value from custom attribute to be used in if else condition?
I want to switch button between show & hide . if show button clicked it will hiden and the hide button showed. And also the same for opposites.
So i can do show hide for my divs.
Here's my codes
<div class="wrapper">
<a class="show_detail" target="1" style="display:block">+ Show</a>
<a class="hide_detail" target-hide="1" style="display:none">- Hide</a>
<div class="event_down" id="event_down1" style="display:none">
Content 1
</div>
<a class="show_detail" target="2" style="display:block">+ Show</a>
<a class="hide_detail" target-hide="2" style="display:none">- Hide</a>
<div class="event_down" id="event_down2" style="display:none">
Content 2
</div>
<a class="show_detail" target="3" style="display:block">+ Show</a>
<a class="hide_detail" target-hide="3" style="display:none">- Hide</a>
<div class="event_down" id="event_down3" style="display:none">
Content 3
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.show_detail{cursor:pointer; color:red;}
.hide_detail{cursor:pointer; color:red;}
JS :
$('.show_detail').click(function(){
var atribut_show = $('.show_detail').attr('target');
var atribut_hide = $('.hide_detail').attr('target-hide');
if (atribut_show == atribut_hide){
$('.hide_detail').show();
$(this).hide();
}
$('.event_down').hide();
$('#event_down'+$(this).attr('target')).show();
});
and here's MY FIDDLE need your help to solve it.

in order to get custom attributes their name must start with "data-". For example your custom attribute target would be "data-target". After that you can get them using something like $("#myElement").getAttribute("data-target").

You are getting object array list you have to get only the current object
Check updated fiddle here
"http://jsfiddle.net/p7Krf/3/"
$('.show_detail').click(function(){
var atribut_show = $(this).attr('target');
$('.hide_detail').each(function(element){
if($(this).attr("target-hide")==atribut_show){
$(this).show();
}
});
$(this).hide();
$('#event_down'+atribut_show).show();
});

The following javascript made it function for me. You should however consider calling your attributes data-target and data-target-hide as your specified attributes are not actually valid. It will function, but you could run into problems if you don't change the attribute names.
$('.show_detail').click(function(){
var atribut_show = $(this).attr('target');
$('.hide_detail[target-hide="'+atribut_show+'"]').show();
$(this).hide();
$('#event_down'+atribut_show).show();
});
$('.hide_detail').click(function(){
var atribut_hide = $(this).attr('target-hide');
$('.show_detail[target="'+atribut_hide+'"]').show();
$(this).hide();
$('#event_down'+atribut_hide).hide();
});

How to take element from collection by specific class name using jQuery?

I have to make a slider control using jQuery. In each slide you can have a content like images, paragraphs and so on.
<div class="slide first current">
<h1>Ninja Superman slide</h1>
<p>Here's some text.</p>
<img src="http://blogs.telerik.com/images/default-source/miroslav-miroslav/super_ninja.png?sfvrsn=2" width="300" height="300">
</div>
<div class="slide">
<h1> Ninja Samurai</h1>
<p>Here's some text about ninja samurais</p>
<img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRVNH4RuAsomFkrv9tWiz_VBaCbVSWbC7gDXtOag9e7K_JHuC6zZR5Es-Y" width="500" height="300">
</div>
<div class="slide last">
<h1>The birth of a ninja</h1>
<p>Some text about the birth of a ninja from egg.</p>

</div>
I have 2 buttons for previous and next slide.
<input type="button" id="prev-btn" value="Previous slide" />
<input type="button" id="next-btn" value="Next slide" />
On each div (slide content) I have a class "slide", so I can locate is as a slide. I'm made a collection by taking all the elements from document with class "slide".
var $slides = document.getElementsByClassName("slide");
Now I have to make a function onNextButtonClick(), that will change my slides. But I don't know how to take the current slide. I have a class "current", given on first element by default. So my question is: how to take an element from collection with specific attribute. Something like that:
var $currentSlide = $slides[element.class == "current"];

Since you use jQuery, I think you better should use jQuery selector to select element.
You can select element with several class by:
var $slides = $(".slide.current");
You can find out infomation about how to choose element according to class, attribute or state here
enter link description here

If the elements with the class current are child nodes of $slides, the following code will select them all:
$('.current', $slides)
The second parameter to the call of the $ function is the scope for the selector.
If you want to get the first element of all the matched elements, you can do this as follows:
$('.current', $slides)[0]
You can see a demonstration here.

To select the current slide you can use
$(".current")
also, you can try out jQuery orbit if you want a simple way to make a slider
http://zurb.com/playground/orbit-jquery-image-slider

Best to use the jQuery/sizzle selectors.
var $slides = document.getElementsByClassName("slide");
becomes
var $slides = $(".slide");
var $currentSlide = $slides.filter(".current");

You can add class to the buttons to get the click event
<input class="next-prev-btn" type="button" id="prev-btn" value="Previous slide" />
<input class="next-prev-btn" type="button" id="next-btn" value="Next slide" />
After that get the click event
$(".next-prev-btn").on('click',function(){
// get the clicked button's id
var clickedButton = $(this).attr('id');
$('.slide').each(function() {
if($(this).hasClass('current'))
{
// here you will get the div which have current class
// your business logic
// you can get your clicked button also by
if(clickedButton=='prev-btn')
{
// your logic for previous button click
}
else
{
// your logic for next button click
}
// if you are done with your functionality you can break the look here to prevent unwanted execution through the loop
break;
}
});
});

Perhaps you should use a toggle(); ?

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;
}

Show a div when a mouseover on a link

If I mouseover on a link it has to show div.
My problem is that I have to show divs in all of the links inside a page. For each link I have to show a different div.
How to do this using javascript?

Since, your question does not specify anything. I will give a simplest solution I can. That is, with plain CSS, no JS needed.
Here is a demo
Markup
<a href="#">
Some
<div class="toshow">
Hello
</div>
</a>
<a href="#">
None
<div class="toshow">
Hi
</div>
</a>
CSS
.toshow {
display:none;
position: absolute;
background: #f00;
width: 200px;
}
a:hover div.toshow {
display:block;
}
You should not try to rely on script as much as possible. This is a very simple example, with displays the use of :hover event of the link.

Steps can be:
Make multiple divs all with different id.
Give style="display:none;" to all div.
Make links to show respective div.
In onMouseOver of link call js function which changes display property to block of proper div. Ex.:- document.getElementById("divId").style.display = "block"; And for all other div set display:none; in that js function.
Sample code:-
Your links:
Div 1
Div 1
Your divs:
<div id="myDiv1">Div 1</div>
<div id="myDiv2">Div 2</div>
JS function:
function Changing(i) {
if(i==1){
document.getElementById("myDiv1").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("myDiv2").style.display = "none";
} else {
document.getElementById("myDiv1").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("myDiv2").style.display = "block";
}
}
If you have more divs then you can use for loop in js function instead of if...else.

look at jquery each
<div id=div-0" class="sidediv" style="display:none" > Div for first link </div>
<div id=div-1" class="sidediv" style="display:none"> Div for second link </div>
<div id=div-2" class="sidediv" style="display:none"> Div for third link </div>
<a class="linkclass" href=""> Link </a>
<a class="linkclass" href=""> Link </a>
<a class="linkclass" href=""> Link </a>
and essentially do something like this
$('.linkclass').each(function(i,u) {
$(this).hover(function()
{
$('#div-'+i).show();
}, function() {
$('#div-'+i).hide(); //on mouseout;
})
});

Edit: oops ...this will need jquery. dont know why I assumed jquery here.
You can give ids to all the links such as
<a id="link-1"></a>
<a id="link-2"></a>
<a id="link-3"></a>
and so on ..
and similarly to div elements
<div id="div-1"></div>
<div id="div-2"></div>
<div id="div-3"></div>
and so on ..
then
$("a").hover(function () { //callback function to show on mouseover
var id = $(this).attr('id').replace("link-", "");
$("#div-"+id).show();
},
function () { //if you want to hide on mouse out
var id = $(this).attr('id').replace("link-", "");
$("#div-"+id).hide();
}
);
