Javascript how to get list is on click on inner span

<li id="123">
<span id="tst">test</span>
</li>
I have the above code. I would like to get the li id on click on span id. Is it possible to do so?

Most easily to do with jQuery:
$('span').click(function() {
var parentId = $(this).closest('li').attr('id');
console.log(parentId);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<li id="123">
<span id="tst">test</span>
</li>
Or as plain vanilla js:
document.getElementById('tst').onclick = function() {
var parentId = this.parentElement.id;
console.log(parentId);
};
<li id="123">
<span id="tst">test</span>
</li>

Displaying selection text in span

So let's say I have this code:
<span id="select_list">
<ul>
<li><a id="1">1</a></li>
<li><a id="2">2</a></li>
<li><a id="3">3</a></li>
</ul>
</span>
<span id="selection"></span>
And let's also assume that there are a lot of list elements, ex. '4,5,6,7... etc'.
Can I get a html file, that is basically just text, that corresponds to the list element's ID (ex. 1.html, 2.html,... etc), to show in 'selection'?
If so how?
Thanks for your time. Hope I explained it well.

Something like this (jQuery) should work:
var list = $("#select_list");
var sel = $("#selection");
$("a", list).on("click", function(){
var id = $(this).attr("id");
sel.load(id+".html");
});

<div id="select_list">
<ul>
<li id="1">1</li>
<li id="2">2</li>
<li id="3">3</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="selection"></div>
i would use a div not span spans are for if you want to change the size of something particular like this:
<li id="1" href="#"><a href="#"><span style="color: red;
font-size: 30px">1</span></a></li>
and from what i am understanding you want a selector to select them in css?
if so this is how:
#select_list ul li:nth_child(1) {
}
or
#select_list ul li#2 {
}
hope this helps you

I would suggest using data-attributes instead of IDs.
HTML
<ul class='selection-list'>
<li data-name='Dog'>Dog</li>
<li data-name='cat.html'>Cat</li>
<li data-name='45'>Fourty Five</li>
<li data-name='Triangle'>Three sides</li>
</ul>
<div class="output js-output"></div>
jQuery
var $output = $('.js-output');
$('.selection-list li').on('click', function() {
var selectionValue = $(this).data('name');
$output.text(selectionValue);
});
CSS
.selection-list li {
cursor: pointer;
}

iframe
I'm starting to think that you are asking for an iframe with dynamic source. The question is unclear. You may want to try and rewrite it. - Here is what I think you may be after...
HTML
<ul class='selection-list'>
<li data-url='http://reputable.agency'>Reputable Agency</li>
<li data-url='http://perpetual.education'>Perpetual Education</li>
<li data-url='http://example.com/index.html'>Example.com</li>
</ul>
<iframe src='http://example.com' class="output js-output"></iframe>
JavaScript / jQuery
var $output = $('.js-output');
$('.selection-list li').on('click', function() {
// get the 'data-url' from the element...
var selectionValue = $(this).data('url');
// put that data-url into the src attribute of the iFrame
$output.attr('src', selectionValue);
});
Also..
Note that if you are using the same domain for all of these, you can build those urls differently to keep things simple.
<li data-url='index.html'>Example.com</li>
$output.attr('src', 'http://yoursite.com/' + selectionValue);
jsFiddle
AJAX
Now I'm wondering if you mean AJAX. Here is an example - but it's not tested because I don't have access to a bunch of relative URLs - but here is the basics - and should lead you to the right documentation.
HTML
<ul class='selection-list'>
<li data-url='index.html'>Reputable Agency</li>
<li data-url='index.html'>Perpetual Education</li>
<li data-url='index.html'>Example.com</li>
</ul>
<div class="output js-output"></div>
JavaScript / jQuery
var $output = $('.js-output');
var getOtherPage = function(target) {
$.ajax({
url: target,
success:function(response){
$output.html(response);
},error:function(){
alert("error");
}
});
};
$('.selection-list li').on('click', function() {
var selectionValue = $(this).data('url');
getOtherPage(selectionValue);
});

Next child LI that is wrapped in a different UL

I have the following list:
<ul>
<li class="item">One</li>
<li class="item">Two</li>
<li class="item">Three
<ul>
<li class="item">Something Original</li>
<li class="item selected">Something</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Four
<ul>
<li class="item">I want this selected next</li>
<li class="item">Good</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Using jQuery, how do I find the next li with the class="item" since it is wrapped in a different container. Obviously I cannot do $(".selected").next(".item") so how else can I do it?
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/q3f6v7zz/

Since the li elements are nested and you know that you want the next appearing li with a particular class, you can use .index() and do something like this
var $li = $('.item'); // <--- get the list of all lis with class .item
var index = $li.index($('.selected')); // <--- find the index of the one with .selected amongst all the lis
console.log($li.eq(index+1).html()); // <--- index+1 because you need the next appearing li after selected
If you want to move the selected class on keydown something like this should do
var $li = $('.item');
$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 40) {
var index = $li.index($('.selected'));
$li.eq(index).removeClass('selected');
index = (index+1) % $li.length; // <--- to rotate the values from 0 to count of li.item elements
$li.eq(index).addClass('selected');
}
});
var $li = $('.item');
$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 40) {
var index = $li.index($('.selected'));
$li.eq(index).removeClass('selected');
index = (index+1) % $li.length;
$li.eq(index).addClass('selected');
}
});
.selected {
background: green;
color: white;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
<li class="item">One</li>
<li class="item">Two</li>
<li>Three
<ul>
<li class="item">Something</li>
<li class="item selected">Something Else</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Four
<ul>
<li class="item">I want this selected next</li>
<li class="item">Good</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

You can get the index of the selected element within all lis, and then increment that index to get the next one.
$("ul").on("click", "li.item.selected", function() {
var all_li = $("li.item");
var selected_index = all_li.index(this);
var next_li = all_li.eq((selected_index + 1) % all_li.length);
$(this).removeClass("selected");
next_li.addClass("selected");
});
.item.selected {
background-color: yellow;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
<li class="item">One</li>
<li class="item">Two</li>
<li class="item">Three
<ul>
<li class="item selected">Something</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Four
<ul>
<li class="item">I want this selected next</li>
<li class="item">Good</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I used the modulus so it will wrap around at the end.

Not sure what you are exactly looking for but you can use $(Element").parent().parent().find("li");
So in other words .parent() may be what you are looking for there is also .sibling() to find or you may want $('li').closest('ul').find('li')
which will go up the tree to find the nearest ul to the one you are looking for
https://api.jquery.com/closest/
You may also use:
Vanilla JS to do something similar to what was discussed by others with $index if it makes more sense to you:
Again this isn't as efficient but that is basically what JQuery is doing:
var myLis = document.getElementsByTagName('li');
var wantedIndex;
for(var i = 0;i<myLis.length; i++){
if(myLis[i].className === "active"){
wantedIndex = i+1; //gets the li which is next when selecting all lis
}
}

get list equal height inside div element

Please take a look at this FIDDLE. I have two pairs of unordered lists, each of which is inside a div element.pricing-table. The following code can find the li with the same classes, get the max height and set the height of all of them to the same. But I want to limit it to getting the max-height of each pair of lists inside each div element.
I think this line is giving me problem because it is getting all the lists with the same classes in the document:
var elems = $('.pricing-table ul li.' + elem.className),
I don't think I can use $(this) and update it like $(this +elem.className). Any suggestions?
Jquery script:
$(document).ready( function(){
$('.pricing-table ul li').each(function(i, elem) {
var elems = $('.pricing-table ul li.' + elem.className),
heights = $.map(elems, function(li) {
return $(li).height();
}),
max = Math.max.apply(null, heights);
elems.height(max);
});
});
HTML
<div class="pricing-table">
<ul>
<li class="heading">Bronze</li>
<li class="year">2003<p>(Text)..........</li>
<li class="package">Starter package</li>
<li class="location">Africa (Text).......)</li>
<li class="description">Text............ </li>
</ul>
<ul class="feature">
<li class="heading">Silver</li>
<li class="year">2004</li>
<li class="package">Intermediate package</li>
<li class="location">Asia</li>
<li class="description">Text............ </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="pricing-table">
<ul>
<li class="heading">Bronze</li>
<li class="year">2003<p>(Text)..........</li>
<li class="package">Starter package</li>
<li class="location">Africa (Text).......)</li>
<li class="description">Text............ </li>
</ul>
<ul class="feature">
<li class="heading">Silver</li>
<li class="year">2004</li>
<li class="package">Intermediate package</li>
<li class="location">Asia</li>
<li class="description">Text............ </li>
</ul>
</div>

You’d need to get only the li that are descendants of your current .pricing-table element, so you’ll have to iterate over the latter first:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.pricing-table').each(function (i, e) {
$(e).find('ul li').each(function (i, elem) {
var elems = $(e).find('ul li.' + elem.className),
heights = $.map(elems, function (li) {
return $(li).height();
}),
max = Math.max.apply(null, heights);
elems.height(max);
});
});
});
… or something like that. http://jsfiddle.net/p3sfy/3867/
(Still kinda ugly, since it will iterate over the li multiple times, so that’s rather just a “quick fix” – but I don’t wanna think about anything more sophisticated here before I have not first heard a convincing argument why this data is not marked up using tables in the first place …?)

how to get li first href in a UL using javascript

everyone i want to get all first href elements in li and i want it in javascript only
<div id="cataloge">
<ul id="catalog-items" class="product-items">
<li id="OS389HL91QJCLMX" class="product-item >
<a id="1:OS389HL91QJCLMX" href="/piezas-y-Sala-4-piezas%29.-116508.html">link1
<ul><li>some data</li><li>some data</li><li>some data</li></ul>
</a>
</li>
<li id="OS389HL91QJCLMX" class="product-item >

<ul><li>some data</li><li>some data</li><li>some data</li></ul>
</a>
</li>
<li id="OS389HL91QJCLMX" class="product-item >

<div>
i want get href links in the li classname "product-item" under UL with id catalog- items
i written this below code,but it is giving empty when print the chethan1;
var lists = document.getElementById("catalog-items");
var items = lists.getElementsByTagName("li");
var chethan1="";
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
{
if(typeof items[i]!="undefined" && items[i]!="" && items[i].className=="product-item")
{
chethan1.push(items[i]);
}
}
console.log(chethan1);
[empty]
plz someone help me to sort out..thanks in advance..

See this: http://jsfiddle.net/M5xYb/
var chethan1= new Array();
Closes string, uses new array from above. Results are not empty.

Among other markup concerns, .push() is to be used on arrays, not strings.
Use var chethan1 = []; instead of var chethan1="";.
