Hiding a div if another contains a specific string in jQuery

I want to check if an element on page contains a text phrase, it shows a second hidden container? For example, '#product-description' contains 'best gift' then a hidden container '#best-gift-graphic' over the product image is shown. I've found answers that skirt around this, and tackle parts, but I can't seem to put it all together.
I've found solutions that hide the element that contains the text:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("div p:contains('text')").parent('div').hide();
});
</script>
I need to apply the show/hide to a second container, not the container with the target phrase in. Really new to jquery and just want to understand the syntax. Thanks in anticipation.

You need to check the length to see if any items exist, you can then use .hide() to hide your corresponding element if there is any:
if ($('#product-description:contains("best gift")').length) { // check if this exists
$('#best-gift-graphic').hide(); // hide this
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="product-description">best gift</div>
<div id="best-gift-graphic">this is hidden</div>

How to select some elements and append a div after them?

I've bene bursting my head for the last few hours. Here's the situation:
I have a website that has many divs, but many of them share classes (they are equal) but have some different texts. Example:
<div class="summary-title">
I Am That Girl</div>
<div class="summary-title">
I Am That Girl</div>
What I want to do is select each one of these divs and add a span whenever another div is hovered.
I mean, this is what I want to do: hover a div that's before the sumary-title div, a span with a class is appended inside the sumary-title div or out of it, whatever works.
That's what I got so far:
$('summary-title').each(function(index) {
var content = $(index).next().text();
$(index).append("<span class='hover-text'>"+content+"</span>");
});
But I get an error that $ is not defined, probably because it is a closure?
I have no idea what to do. The code seems horrible too — i need to do this quickly and I just can't do. Would anyone help me at least know what to do?
Thanks

append() is already an implicit iteration ( that loops through the set of elements in the jQuery collection.) and it's unnecessary to call .each() .
$('.summary-title').append(function() {
return "<span class='hover-text'>" + $('a', this).text() + "</span>";
});

Outside of making sure you have jQuery on your page and properly referring it, your code should go like:
$('.summary-title').each(function() {
var content = $(this).children('a:first').text();
$(this).append("<span class='hover-text'>"+content+"</span>");
});
Notice:
dot in class selector - $('.summary-title')
this instead of index - $(this)
children selector instead of next
Check demo - Fiddle.
To append this to a preceding element on hover use:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('.summary-title').hover( function() {
var content = $(this).children('a:first').text();
$(this).prev().append("<span class='hover-text'>"+content+"</span>");
});
});

How to select a DIV if its child has any children?

I'm trying to select any divs on a page if a certain child of theirs has any children of its own.
Here's how the structure looks:
<div id="ID-SOME_LONG_ID">
<div class="GK">
<div id="SOME_LONGID_#1434646398866197"></div>
</div>
</div>
So I want to select all divs with id ID-SOME_LONG_ID only if the GK DIV has any children. It may or may not.
ID- stays the same and SOME_LONG_ID changes with each one.
The other one SOME_LONG_ID is the same on as the parent, and after the # it's a 16 digit number that is random.
Would using Regex be a good idea to look for them or maybe using jQuery's .children() like $( ".GK" ).children()?
Thank you!

Use :has(), :empty, and :not()
$('#ID-SOME_LONG_ID:has(.GK:not(:empty))')
However, note, :empty will fail if you want real children without text nodes. In that case you can do
$('.GK').filter(function() {
return $(this).children().length > 0;
});

How to hide a div that doesn't have an ID

I need to write a piece of code (I am thinking of JavaScript/jQuery) that would hide the two divs highlighted. The problem is that they do not have IDs and they belong to classes but are not the only objects in those classes. So I cannot hide the classes, because that will hide more things that I want. The "parent" div has an ID.
Please find the code here:
Is there any way I can reference the divs that I want to hide by the order number from the parent? Any other solution would be greatly appreciated.

As I see that those elements are sub child of an element with an id of #view so you can make use of nth- selectors or you can use jQuery :eq()
$("#view > div:nth-of-type(3) > div:nth-of-type(2),
#view > div:nth-of-type(4) > div:nth-of-type(1)").hide()
Or using CSS (Recommended)
#view > div:nth-of-type(3) > div:nth-of-type(2),
#view > div:nth-of-type(4) > div:nth-of-type(1) {
display: none;
}
Here, the first selector i.e #view > div:nth-of-type(3) > div:nth-of-type(2) selects a third div element which is a direct child to an element having an id of #view and further it selects a direct div element which is a second child of that type
Second selector i.e #view > div:nth-of-type(4) > div:nth-of-type(1) selects fourth direct div child element to an element having an id of #view and further, it selects first direct child div

This worked for me If there is no other sibling with same class name.
HTML
<div>
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
<div id="parent">
<div class="child">
</div>
</div>
<button onclick="hideDivs()">Hide</button>
Javascript
function hideDivs() {
var parentDiv = document.getElementById('parent');
var childDivs = parentDiv.getElementsByClassName('child');
for (var i = 0; i < childDivs.length; i++) {
childDivs[i].style.display = "none";
};
}

I am not a fan of coding by position (e.g. the 3rd or 4th element) because relatively minor changes to the markup such as just adding a new div for spacing can break code that relies on specific hard-coded positions.
If you want something that won't break when there are changes to the markup that might change the relative position of items, then you have to look for more specific content that you want to hide. There are many different ways to do this depending upon what you know about the content and what is the best marker to indicate that you have the right div.
Here's one way that looks for unique identifiers in the content you want to hide, then goes up to the proper parent to hide that content:
$("#RoleListTB").closet(".h1r1").hide();
$("#AccessProfileListTB").closest(".h111").hide();

You could use the table's ids to identify the container.
$("#RoleListTB").closest(".hlrl").hide();
closest() is looking up the DOM to the next matching parent, so you can start at your table as shown.
i've made a fiddle for this:
<a href="#" id="toggle" >show/hide</a>
<div>
<div class="hlrl">
<span id="RoleListTB">
RoleList Table
</span>
</div>
</div>
$("#toggle").click(function(){
$("#RoleListTB").closest(".hlrl").toggle();
});
http://jsfiddle.net/NGVQ3/

You could easily do this by using a CSS pseudo-selector in your query.
$('#view').find('div.h1r1:nth-of-type(2)')
or you could just be more specific
.h111+.h1r1

You can use :gt Jquery selector to search by index:
$( ".some:gt(0)" );
0 - is first .some

You can use the :eq selector to select an element at a particular index.
Assume the parent div has an id parent
it had child div's having the class sub.
so if you want to hide the second child element
$("#parent .sub:eq(1)").hide();
since the child ordering starts with `0' index

If you are sure that their positions are fixed and that won't change, then you could use nth-child selector.
Something like this:
$("#view").children("div:nth-child(3)").children("div:nth-child(2)").hide();
$("#view").children("div:nth-child(4)").children("div:nth-child(1)").hide();
Or, just:
$("#view > div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(2)").hide();
$("#view > div:nth-child(4) > div:nth-child(1)").hide();
Alternatively, using .eq:
$("#view").children("div").eq(2).children("div").eq(1).hide();
$("#view").children("div").eq(3).children("div").eq(0).hide();
Note: .eq is zero-based.

Divs can have more than one class . . .
<div class="h111">
changed to
<div class="h111 hideDiv">
CSS
.hideDiv {display: none;}
then use javascript to show it when you want it to be shown :)

Your div contains the tables which have a ID. So you can use
$('#yourTableIDHere').parent().hide();
This code will hide your div.

Jquery event - how to select entire DIV excluding some inner area

Think of the following HTML code to apply Jquery:
HTML code:
<div id="outer_div">
<div id="inner_div_1"></div>
<div id="inner_div_2"></div>
<div id="inner_div_3"></div>
</div>
By default, the "outer_div" is hidden. It appears while clicked on a button using Jquery show() function.
I wanted to do the following: On click within anywhere of "outer_div" excluding the area within "inner_div_1" , the "outer_div" would again be hidden. I failed while tried the following codes. What should I amend?
Attempted Jquery 1:
$("#outer_div:not(#inner_div_1)").on("click",function(){
$("#outer_div").hide("slow");
});
Attempted Jquery 2:
$("#outer_div").not("#inner_div_1").on("click",function(){
$("#outer_div").hide("slow");
});
Your support would be highly appreciated.

You need to consider that a click in the inner div is also a click on the outter div. That being said, you just need to check the target and target parents :
$("#outer_div").on("click",function(e){
if(!$(e.target).closest('#inner_div_1').length) $("#outer_div").hide("slow");
});

You can use some of the data in the event
$("#outer_div").on("click",function(e){
if( // Fast check to see if this is the div
e.target.id !=='inner_div_1'
// We limit the 'closest()' code to the outer div. This adds children to the exclude
&& $(this).closest('#inner_div_1, #outer_div')[0].id=='outer_div'){
alert('good click');
}
});
This is a solution for your code now, this works perfect when not too many excluding objects. But no wildcard selectors, which is nice.
And a jsFiddle demo.
Other properties can be used to, like a class:
$("#outer_div").on("click",function(e){
if( e.target.className!=='even'
&& $(this).closest('.even, #outer_div')[0].id=='outer_div'){
alert('yay, clicked an odd');
}
});
I made 7 lines, gave the even ones a class 'even'.
