I inherited template with the menu in which categories and subcategories is in the same scope. Here is an example:
<ul class="menu">
<li class="cat" data-item-type="category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li class="cat" data-item-type="category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li class="cat" data-item-type="category"></li>
<li class="cat" data-item-type="category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
<li data-item-type="sub-category"></li>
</ul>
I cant change the structure of this, but can add extra attributes to it.
So my question is if it is possible to select all categories subcategories when clicking on one of subcategories. In general i need to select all li until first class="cat" or data-item-type="category" occurrence including it - category and all it's subs.
Update answer per OP's update:
$('li[data-item-type="sub-category"]').click(function() {
$(this)
.add( $(this).nextUntil('.cat') )
.add( $(this).prevUntil('.cat') )
.prev('.cat').addBack() //in jQuery < 1.8, replace addBack by andSelf
//do something
});
Demo
After some brainstorming in the comments, here's a shorter alternative:
$('li[data-item-type="sub-category"]').click(function() {
$(this).prevAll('.cat:first').nextUntil('.cat').addBack()//do something
});
Demo
So .prevAll('.cat:first') matches the first previous .cat, nextUntil('.cat') gets all its subcategories and addBack (or andSelf in older versions) adds the .cat element back to the set of matched elements.
In up-to-date jQuery versions, the .add() and .addBack() methods sort the matched elements in document order, hence both alternatives will have .cat as the first element in the set followed by the subcategories in document order.
Reference
add
addBack
first
nextUntil
prev
prevUntil
This will solve your problem according to your request (updated) for category and subs (not buggy)
$('li').click(function() {
var x = $(this).add($(this).nextUntil('.cat')).add($(this).not('.cat').prevUntil('.cat')).andSelf().add($(this).not('.cat').prevAll('.cat:first'));
});
for clicking on the subs or the cat and selecting the other subs around it with it's category too
Use jQuery .nextUntil
$('li.cat').on('click', function() {
$(this).nextUntil('.cat');
/* then write you logic here */
});

say i have a list
<ul class="ul-1">
<li class="li-1">xx -1</li>
<li class="li-2">xx -2</li>
<li class="li-3">xx -3</li>
</ul>
i then save it as
var list = $('.ul-1').html();
i can populate another element i.e
$('.ul-2').html(list);
but what if I wanted to replace the first list element <li class="li-1">xx -1</li> with another list element, how do I do this using the list variable? thanks
Firstly note that it's generally better practice to work with references to the elements in the DOM rather than serialising them to strings which need to be deserialised again when re-added to the DOM.
In addition, if you work with the li references you can use jQuery to retrieve the first() of them and then replaceWith() to change it as necessary. Try this:
var $list = $('.ul-1 > li');
$list.appendTo('.ul-2');
$list.first().replaceWith('<li>Foobar</li>');
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="ul-1">
<li class="li-1">xx -1</li>
<li class="li-2">xx -2</li>
<li class="li-3">xx -3</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul-2"></ul>
I have a menu of a list of article names list-A, and a corresponding list of articles content, list-B. Each list A and list B item pair share an identical value in their class eg. class="orderCntrl-6062347".
I want to be able to select an item from list A to bring the corresponding article from list B to the top of list B.
I know how to re-order the lists by using the following to bring a selected item to the top of a list:
$("li.orderIt").click(function() {
$(this).parent().prepend($(this));
});
This is what my code currently looks like:
<!-- List A selecting an item here should bring selected item and paired item in list B to the top of each of their lists -->
<ul class="list-A">
<li class="orderIt orderCntrl-6062347"><a>Item 1</a></li>
<li class="orderIt orderCntrl-6062348"><a>Item 2</a></li>
<li class="orderIt orderCntrl-6062349"><a>Item 3<a></li>
</ul>
<ul class="list-B">
<li class="orderCntrl-6062347"><h2 class="newsTitle">Item One</h2></li>
<li class="orderCntrl-6062348"><h2 class="newsTitle">Item Two</h2></li>
<li class="orderCntrl-6062349"><h2 class="newsTitle">Item Three</h2></li>
</ul>
<!-- Script to bring accompanying article to top of list on selecting side menu - currently only bring elements in List A to the top of their lists -->
<script>
$("li.orderIt").click(function() {
$(this).parent().prepend($(this));
});
</script>
Here's a link to how things will look, the green side menu is list-A (it may be above the page title on screens under 1300px).
How do I adjust the script to bring the corresponding list B item to the top as well?
Is this kind of what you are looking for?
https://jsfiddle.net/stevenkaspar/61oL0Lfm/
<ul class="list-A">
<li class="orderCntrl-6062347" data-news-target='#news1'><h2 class="newsTitle">Item One</h2></li>
...
<!-- List B -->
<ul class="list-B">
<li id='news1'>NEWS One</li>
<script>
$("[data-news-target]").click(function() {
$(this).parent().prepend($(this));
var target_element = $( $(this).data('newsTarget') );
target_element.parent().prepend( target_element );
});
</script>
You can use data-news-target to say what element it will move
Working JSFiddle Example
What you need to do is:
Get the unique name you want to use to match with the article element.
Use it to find the article element you want to move to the top.
Move the article element to the top.
Recommendations:
Set the unique name as an ID on the menu item. It'll be easier to get and cleaner (id's are supposed to be unique anyway).
Use .on("click", function() { ... }) rather than .click(function() { ... }) for the many reasons mentioned here.
Now, on click you need to find the id of this using this.id. Then you need to add a . to it and grab the element as an object using the symbols $(). Then prepend it in exactly the way you did before.
Example HTML:
<ul class="List-A">
<li class="orderIt" id="unique-name-1">Item 1</li>
<li class="orderIt" id="unique-name-2">Item 2</li>
<li class="orderIt" id="unique-name-3">Item 3</li>
</ul>
<ul class="List-B">
<li class="unique-name-1">Article 1</li>
<li class="unique-name-2">Article 2</li>
<li class="unique-name-3">Article 3</li>
</ul>
Example jQuery
$(".List-A").on("click", ".orderIt", function() {
$(this).parent().prepend($(this));
target_article = $('.' + this.id)
target_article.parent().prepend(target_article)
});
It could be simplified to:
$(".List-A").on("click", ".orderIt", function() {
$(this).parent().prepend($(this));
$('.' + this.id).parent().prepend($('.' + this.id));
});
but that's much less readable, which will make it more time-consuming to figure out what's going on 6 months later when you've forgotten what you did.
Say I have this HTML:
<ul class="list-group" id="words">
<li class="list-group-item"><span class="badge">10</span>Apple</li>
<li class="list-group-item"><span class="badge">50</span>Banana</li>
<li class="list-group-item"><span class="badge">30</span>Carrot</li>
</ul>
I'm looking for a jQuery selector that will select a list item like Banana and then be able to edit its child badge to whatever value.
I was looking around and saw some very complex selectors involving contains (which isn't exact enough for me already) and lambda functions/loops spanning multiple lines and was wondering if there was a better way.
Fiddle Example.
You can use .data() like #dsh mentioned in comment, see the example below :
HTML :
<ul class="list-group" id="words">
<li class="list-group-item" data-text="Apple"><span class="badge">10</span>Apple</li>
<li class="list-group-item" data-text="Banana"><span class="badge">50</span>Banana</li>
<li class="list-group-item" data-text="Carrot"><span class="badge">30</span>Carrot</li>
</ul>
JS :
$( ".list-group-item[data-text='Banana'] .badge" ).text(); //50
Hope this helps.
$("li:contains(Banana)>.badge").text("whatever")
should be the proper selector for jQuery. However, you should try to avoid :contains() if you are not specific. The selector above has to search in every list element. If you only search in the given list use
$("#words>li:contains(Banana)>.badge").text("whatever")
instead or use data Attributes, as dsh has commented,
I have a unordered list like the one below:
<ul id="tabs">
<li>latest news</li>
<li class="active">latest posts</li>
<li>latest posts</li>
<li>latest posts</li>
</ul>
I can't find a jQuery selector that gets the next list item from the one whith the .active class, so if .active is the second one the jQuery selector will give me the third list item.
Thank's
In one step: jQuery('li.active + li');
See adjacent sibling selectors.
$('ul#tabs li.active').next();
I am trying to formulate a selector to select a set of visible elements. Our application uses the Prototype JavaScript framework, version 1.6.0.3.
The markup I'm working with is as follows:
<ul>
<li style="display:none;">1 Hidden</li>
<li style="display:none;">2 Hidden</li>
<li style="">3 Visible</li>
<li style="display:none;">4 Hidden</li>
<li style="display:none;">5 Hidden</li>
<li style="display:none;">6 Hidden</li>
<li>7 Visible</li>
<li style="">8 Visible</li>
</ul>
As you can see, some elements may have a style attribute, but only the hidden ones contain the string "display:none;". I need to select the <li> elements that are visible, where visibility is defined as "does not contain display:none".
What I've tried to far:
var visibleItems = $$('li[style*="display:none"]'); // Yields: [ ]
var visibleItems = $$('li[style*="display"]'); // Yields: [li, li, li, li, li], but isn't specific enough
Ideas? Ideally I'd like this to be as compact as possible, but I'll take what I can get.
Yes, I know that jQuery can do this but I do not want to introduce another framework in to this application since much of it already depends on Prototype.
You can filter the items using the findAll function:
var notVisible = $$('li').findAll(function(el) { return !el.visible(); });
