I have a tweet stream where new tweets are added at the top and the older ones pushed down. You can click on the entire tweet and a panel slides down to reveal, "reply", "retweet", "favorite" etc. The panel is added to each new tweet added in the stream.
The code below works. Shouldn't this be better written so that only one call is being made? Or, as a new tweet is added. would I just have to add to the code with div#tc4, ul#tb4 etc?
$(document).ready(function () {
$("div#tc1").click(function () {
$("ul#tb1").slideToggle("fast");
});
$("div#tc2").click(function () {
$('ul#tb2').slideToggle("fast");
});
$("div#tc3").click(function () {
$('ul#tb3').slideToggle("fast");
});
});
Added Markup:
<div id="tc1" class="tweetcontainer">
<div class="avatarcontainer">
<div class="avatar"></div>

<div class="content">
<div class="tweetheader">

I highly recommend separating your javascript from your detailed page function. The best way to do this is to put the retweeting panel inside the tweet container, then you don't even need to give it an id at all or encode in the javascript information about your html structure and ids. You can then just do:
$('.tweetcontainer').on('click', function(event) {
if ($(event.target).is(':descendantof(.toolbar)')) {
//ignore all clicks within the toolbar itself
return;
}
$(this).find('.toolbar').slideToggle();
});
It's that easy! See it in action in a jsFiddle.
Now you can add as many tweet containers as you want to your page--and your javascript doesn't have to change one bit. Other solutions that require knowledge of specific ids linking to specific ids are suboptimal.
Note the descendantof pseudo-selector is custom (see the fiddle to find out how it works). Also, since you didn't provide any css, I had to choose some--it was quick so don't expect much. (Aww heck I just saw you updated your question to provide a jsFiddle with css giving a far prettier result--but I won't change mine now.) I did have to add a class to the actual tweet itself, but there is probably a better way to style it.
And if you want a click on the displayed toolbar itself (outside of a link) to allow collapsing the toolbar, change the code above to :descendantof(a).
If you don't want to change your page layout, another way to it is to encode the information about the linkage between html parts in the html itself using a data attribute. Change your tweetcontainer div to add a data attribute with a jQuery style selector in it that will properly locate the target:
<div class="tweetcontainer" data-target="#tb1">
You don't really have to remove the id if you use it elsewhere, but I wanted you to see that you don't need it any more. Then on document.ready:
$('.tweetcontainer').click(function () {
$($(this).data('target')).slideToggle('fast');
});
Here is another jsFiddle demonstrating this alternate technique (though it less elegant, in my opinion).
Last, I would like to mention that it seems possible you have a little bit of "div-itis". (We have all been there.) The toolbar anchor elements have unnecessary spans inside of them. The tweet name h1 element is inside a div, but could just be an h1 with class="name" instead.
In general, if there is only a single item inside a div and you can change your stylesheet to eliminate the div, then the div isn't needed. There are an awful lot of nested divs in your html, and I encourage you to remove as many of them as you can. Apply style to the other block elements you use and at least some, if not many, won't be needed.
I'd suggest (though currently untested):
$('div[id^="tc"]').click(function(){
var num = parseInt(this.id.replace(/\D+/g,''),10);
$('#tb' + num).slideToggle("fast");
});
Though given that you don't need the num to be a number (it'd be fine as a string), you could safely omit the parseInt().
Yes, you can write this code much more compactly like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
for (var i = 1; i < 3; i++) {
$("div#tc" + i).click(function() { $("ul#tb" + i).slideToggle("fast"); } );
}
});

In the past I used Google Developer Console to delete some specific divs on a page. I could do it manually of course but in some cases where the divs where many I had to use the console. I had a single line code that did the job (I found it while searching the internet) but I lost my note.
So how can I delete using javascript any html code (by copy pasting the code).
Something like:
elements = $('<div ... </div>');
elements.remove();
OR
$('<div ... </div>').remove();
Any ideas? I am not an expert in javascript (obviously) and I've been searching stackoverflow for hours without finding anything that works.
UPDATE: I think some people might get confused with my question. Google developer console accepts javascript command lines. So even though I ask for javascript I will use the code on the google developer console.
UPDATE 2 :
Here is an example of a div I need to delete. Keep in mind I want to copy paste the entire code in the javascript code. Not just identify the div.
<div class="entry-status-overlay" data-entry-status="declined">
<div class="entry-status-overlay__inner">
<span class="entry-status-overlay__title">Declined</span>
</div>
</div>
It's the data-entry-status="declined" that makes that div unique so I can't just identify the div using an id selector or a class selector. I need to put the entrire thing there and remove it.
I tried:
$('<div class="entry-status-overlay" data-entry-status="declined"><div class="entry-status-overlay__inner"><span class="entry-status-overlay__title">Declined</span></div></div>').remove();
It didn't remove the div.
Try to search the dom by its outerHTML.
function deleteDomByHtml(html){
html=html.replace(/\s/g,'');
$("*").each(function(){
if(this.outerHTML.replace(/\s/g,'')===html){
$(this).remove();
}
});
}
And try this line on this page:
deleteDomByHtml(`<span class="-img _glyph">Stack Overflow</span>`);
You cannot do by simply pasting the code. That will remove all the div element.
You may need a specific selector like id,class or child to specific parent to remove the element from the dom.
Consider this case the divs have common class but the data-entry-status is different. So you can get the dom using a selector and then check the dataset property.
For demo I have put it inside setTimeout to show the difference. In application you can avoid it
setTimeout(function() {
document.querySelectorAll('.entry-status-overlay').forEach(function(item) {
let getStatus = item.dataset.entryStatus;
if (getStatus === 'declined') {
item.remove()
}
})
}, 2000)
<div class="entry-status-overlay" data-entry-status="declined">
<div class="entry-status-overlay__inner">
<span class="entry-status-overlay__title">Declined</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="entry-status-overlay" data-entry-status="accepted">
<div class="entry-status-overlay__inner">
<span class="entry-status-overlay__title">accepted</span>
</div>
</div>
Just add any attribute with [] and it will remove the element.
$('[class="entry-status-overlay"]').remove();
/*OR*/
$('[data-entry-status="declined"]').remove();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="entry-status-overlay" data-entry-status="declined">
<div class="entry-status-overlay__inner">
<span class="entry-status-overlay__title">Declined</span>
</div>
</div>
function del(){
var h = document.body.outerHTML;
h = h.match('<div>...</div>');
h.length--;
return h;
}
I guess this will work just give it a try... i tried on browser console and it worked, this way you can match the exact you want.
I might as well add my take on this. Try running this in your console and see the question vanish.
// convert the whole page into string
let thePage = document.body.innerHTML,
string = [].map.call( thePage, function(node){
return node.textContent || node.innerText || "";
}).join("");
// I get some string. in this scenario the Question or you can set one yourself
let replacableCode = document.getElementsByClassName('post-layout')[0].innerHTML,
string2 = [].map.call( replacableCode, function(node){
return node.textContent || node.innerText || "";
}).join("");
// replace whole page with the removed innerHTML string with blank
document.body.innerHTML = thePage.replace(replacableCode,'');
If you want to identify divs with that particular data attribute, you can use a data-attribute selector. In the example below, I've used a button and click event to make the demo more visual, but in the console the only line you'd need would be:
$('div[data-entry-status="declined"]').remove();
$(function() {
$("#testbutton").click(function() {
$('div[data-entry-status="declined"]').remove();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="entry-status-overlay" data-entry-status="declined">
<div class="entry-status-overlay__inner">
<span class="entry-status-overlay__title">Declined</span>
</div>
</div>
<div id="x">Some other div</div>
<button type="button" id="testbutton">Click me to test removing the div</button>
See https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/attribute-selectors/ for documentation of attribute selectors.
P.S. Your idea to paste some raw HTML into the jQuery constructor and then execute "remove" on it cannot work - you're telling jQuery to create an object based on a HTML string, which is, as far as it's concerned, a new set of HTML. It does not try to match that to something existing on the page, even if that exact HTML is in the DOM somewhere, it pays it no attention. It treats what you just gave it as being totally independent. So then when you run .remove() on that new HTML...that HTML was never added to the page, so it cannot be removed. Therefore .remove() has no effect in that situation.
I've been building a list of links, all of which should change the content of a div to another specific content (about 4 lines of stuff: name, website, contact etc.) upon a click.
I found this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function ReplaceContentInContainer(id,content) {
var container = document.getElementById(id);
container.innerHTML = content;
}
</script>
and used it in such a way:
<li class="pl11">
superlink')">Pomorskie</a>
</li>
And it doesn't work as I expected.
It changes hyperlinks text from 'Pomorskie' to 'superlink'.
The plain text works just fine but I need links.
here's the http://xn--pytyfundamentowe-jyc.pl/projektanci/kontakty-p/ (only two of them show anything)
But after trying all of your recomendations, I think I'd jump to different divs with #links, cause nothing worked with this :/
Thanks a lot for trying, and cheers :)
Just as a completely sideways look at this, I'd suggest avoiding the nesting weirdness / complexity, and reducing the problem down.
Setup the content in a hidden (ie. <div id="replacements">...</div>) Grab the innerHTML from the node you want, and be done with it.
Much easier to get replacement content from non-devs that way too, kinda works great if you're in a team.
// Probably better in a separate helpers.js file.
function replaceContentInContainer(target, source) {
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = document.getElementById(source).innerHTML;
}
Control it with: (lose that href=javascript: and use onClick, better as an event handler, but for brevity I'll inline it as an onClick attribute here, and use a button.)
<button onClick="replaceContentInContainer('target', 'replace_target')">Replace it</button>
We have our target somewhere in the document.
<div id="target">My content will be replaced</div>
Then the replacement content sits hidden inside a replacements div.
<div id="replacements" style="display:none">
<span id="replace_target">superlink</span>
</div>
Here it is in JSBin
Improve the dynamic nature of this by using Handlebars or another nice JS templating library, but that's an exercise for the OP.
edit: Note, you should also name functions with a leading lowercase letter, and reserve the leading uppercase style for Class names e.g. var mySweetInstance = new MySpecialObject();
The quotes are mismatched! So when you click you are getting a JavaScript error.
The browser sees this string:
href="javascript:ReplaceContentInContainer('wojewodztwo', 'superlink')">Pomorskie<
as:
href="javascript:ReplaceContentInContainer('wojewodztwo', '<a href="
Chnage the " inside to #quot;
<li class="pl11">
Pomorskie
</li>
Example fiddle.
Also note, using the href tag for JavaScript is a BAD practice.
You've got a problem with nested quotes. Take a look in your DOM inspector to see what the HTML parser built from it! (in this demo, for example)
You either need to HTML-escape the quotes inside the attribute as " or ", or convert them to apostrophes and escape them inside the JS string with backslashes:
<a href="j[…]r('wojewodztwo', '<a href="http://address.com">superlink</a>')">…
<a href="j[…]r('wojewodztwo', '<a href=\'http://address.com\'>superlink</a>')">…
See working demos here and here.
Better, you should use a onclick attribute instead of a javascript-pseudo-url:
<a onclick="ReplaceContentInContainer('wojewodztwo', …)">Pomorskie</a>
or even a javascript-registered event handler:
<li class="pl11">
<a id="superlink">Pomorskie</a>
</li>
<script type="text/javascript">
function replaceContentInContainer(id,content) {
var container = document.getElementById(id);
container.innerHTML = content;
}
document.getElementBId("superlink").onclick = function(event) {
replaceContentInContainer('wojewodztwo', 'superlink');
event.prevenDefault();
};
</script>

This is probably a fairly easy question, but I'm new to JavaScript and jquery....
I have a website with a basic show/hide toggle. The show/hide function I'm using is here:
http://andylangton.co.uk/articles/javascript/jquery-show-hide-multiple-elements/
So here's my question..... I would really like the first 5-10 words of the toggled section to always be visible. Is there some way I can change it so that it doesn't hide the entire element, but hides all but the first few words of the element?
Here's a screenshot of what I would like it to do:
http://answers.alchemycs.com/mobile/images/capture.jpg
There are many different implementation possibilities:
You can divide the contents up into the first part and the second part (two separate spans or divs inside your main object) and hide only the child object that represents the second part, not hide the parent object.
Rather than hide the object at all, you can set its height to only show the first part (with overflow: hidden)
Change the contents of the main object to only have the first part as the contents (requires you to maintain the full contents somewhere else so you can restore it when expanded again).
Here's a working example of option 1: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/CTzsP/.
You'd need to either:
Put in a span/etc. after the first n words, and only hide that part, or
Change the viewable region, or
Replace or toggle the span/etc. with the "collapsed" view.
The last is a bit more customizable; using two separate elements allows trivial games to be played (showing an image, for example, like a little curly arrow) without modifying adding/removing DOM elements.
I tend towards the last because it's simple and obvious, but that's a personal preference, and really isn't as true as it used to be.
You can do some plugin authoring,I did a sample demo here ,based on your screenshot
<div class="toggle">ShowHide</div>
<div class="content">some content some content some content some content some content <br/> some content some content some content </div>
<div class="toggle">ShowHide</div>
<div class="content">some content some content some content some content some content <br/> some content some content some content </div>
here is javascript/jquery code
jQuery.fn.myToggle = function(selector, count) {
var methods = {
toggle: function(selector, count) {
if ($(selector).is(':visible')) {
var span = $('<span>');
span.text($(selector).text().substr(0, count) + "...");
span.insertAfter($(selector));
$(selector).hide();
}
else {
$(selector).show();
$(selector).next('span').hide();
}
}
};
$(this).each(function() {
methods.toggle($(this).next(selector), count);
$(this).click(function(evt) {
methods.toggle($(this).next(selector), count);
});
});
};
$(function() {
$('.toggle').myToggle('.content', 3);
});
Here is a solution using css properties only instead of mangling the dom.
http://jsfiddle.net/AYre3/4/
Now if you want some sort of animation happening as well you'll probably need to do a bit of measurement along the way.
I have an html page (django) that contains several divs(each displaying different data) and one div that has navigation links. I'll call this my main page. I have an external .js file (jQuery) that reveals one display div on the main page and simultaneously hides all of the others (except the navigation div) based on which nav link is chosen.
$(function(){
$("#sl_sectorbr").click(function showSectorMini(){
$(".minimenu").hide();
$(".minimenu > *").hide();
$("#sector_mini").fadeIn("slow");
$("#sector_mini > *").fadeIn("slow");
});
All of this works fine. My question is, if I want to place "navigation links" on a second html page; that when clicked would both load my main page AND call/execute a specific function like
"showSectorMini()" just as if it were clicked from the main page itself — how would I write that code? I'd really appreciate any help I could get.
Oh.... existing class is...
}
/* ------- Interaction Containers Class -------- */
.interactContainers {
padding:8px;
border:#999 1px solid;
display:none;
}
But you probably already knew that!

Gentlemen...
This is exactly what I need and mine is less complicated than this. Just one div to open with the script. I am a javascript incompetent person so far. :(
How do you dumb this down to my needs?
Seperate page link is:
Email</div>
Page it goes to code is:
function toggleSlideBox(x) {
if ($('#'+x).is(":hidden")) {
$(".interactContainers").slideUp(200);
$('#'+x).slideDown(300);
} else {
$('#'+x).slideUp(300);
}
}
and the div is this...
<div class="interactContainers" id="interactContainers" style="background-color: #EAF4FF;">
I just want to click the link (Email) from one page...have it open the correct persons(id) profile page...and then execute my existing toggleSlideBox javascript.
Is that doable without a bunch or re-code with javascript that I have about an IQ of 4 in. :\
Thank you for any assistance you provide

You could use the hash - link to http://example.com/#sectionOne and read the hash in your ready function.
As SidneySM suggested, a hash is the standard way of handling this. It could go something like this:
In your external js file:
var initSectorUI = function(){
if (location.hash) showSectorMini(location.hash);
};
var showSectorMini = function(sector){
$('#sectors > div').hide();
$(sector).show();
};
On your other pages:
$(function(){
initSectorUI();
$("#navigator a").click(function(){
showSectorMini($(this).attr('href'));
});
});
<div id="navigator">
One
Two
</div>
<div id="sectors">
<div id="one" style="display:none">A one</div>
<div id="two" style="display:none">A two</div>
</div>
You should arrange to produce different versions of the page, and put different onload actions into each version. For example, make the div to show a query parameter, and make django fill in the right onload depending on the query parameter. Then put the different query parameters into the links.
OK, I'm designing a site and thought I'd stick some jQuery in as I really need so js experience.
Page with my problem is here: http://new.focalpix.co.uk/moreinfo.php
JS in question is:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".answer").css("display","none");
$("#maincontent a.animate").click(function() {
$("#maincontent .answer").slideUp('slow');
var id = $(this).attr('href');
$(id).slideDown('slow');
return false;
});
});
This works fine, but if you click on a link where the answer has already slid down, then it slides up, then back down again.
I'm not sure on the cleanest way to stop this happening - any ideas?
You should be using the .slideToggle() effect.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".answer").css("display","none");
$("#maincontent a.animate").click(function() {
$("#maincontent .answer").slideToggle('slow');
});
});
First, I'd suggest the following structure for your faq's:
<div id="faq">
<div class="qa" id="faq_greenandflies">
<span class="q">What is green and flies</span>
<div class="a">
Super Pickle!
</div>
</div>
<div class="qa" id="faq_redandbadforteeth">
<span class="q">What is Red and bad for your teeth</span>
<div class="a">
a Brick
</div>
</div>
<!--
More FAQ's here
-->
</div>
and then defining your jQuery as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
// hide all answers
$('div#faq .qa .a').hide();
// bind a click event to all questions
$('div#faq .qa .q a').bind(
'click',
function(e){
// roll up all of the other answers (See Ex.1)
$(this).parents('.qa').siblings().children('.a').slideUp();
// reveal this answer (See Ex.2)
$(this).parents('.qa').children('.a').slideDown();
// return true to keep any other click events
return true;
});
// check location.hash to see if we need to expand one (direct link)
$(location.hash).find('.q a').click();
});
</script>
Explanation:
(Ex.1)
this is the link that was clicked
get the element that contains this and has a class of 'qa' (the box that contains both question and answer)
select all of its siblings. (we now have all qa's as a jQ object)
hide the answers
(Ex.2)
this is the line or link that was clicked
get the element that contains this and has a class of 'qa' (the box that contains both question and answer)
reveal the answer
A working demo is here.
This does several things for you:
If a user deep-links to an answer, the answer is automatically revealed
If a user clicks on one answer, all other answers are hidden
You can give your divs proper ids, so which helps search engine optimization of links to individual answers
Use slideToggle() like Soviut said, but just as a tip -- you can declare the display property in the actual CSS file instead of declaring it inside the javascript. jQuery will pick up on the fact that it is hidden in the stylesheet and still perform the appropriate slide function.
You can also use $(".answer").hide();
Instead of setting the display CSS property. Just thought I would let you know.
try using the one method, something like:
$(selector).one('effect', 'data for effect', callback function);
it makes sure an effect only happens once per element.
