Hiding many divs with one onclick function - javascript

I am looking for a Javascript solution for this problem. I have the following HTML:
<div id = "container">
<div id = "data">
<div>
<h3> Address</h3>
<b>Expand...</b>
<div id="content">ul. Pomorska</div>
</div>
<div>
<h3> Telefon </h3> <b>Expand...</b>
<div id="content">26565352</div>
</div>
<div>
<h3>Email</h3>
<b>Expand...</b>
<div id="content">asdasdag#aga.com</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I would like to hide the content div when an onclick Expand is made. So far I have made a function which hides the content divs and tries to assign an event handler to the node.
function hideinfo() {
var node = document.getElementById("data");
var contactdata = node.getElementsByTagName("div");
for(var i=0; i<contactdata.length;i++) {
if(contactdata[i].id == "content") {
alert(contactdata[i].previousSibling.innerHTML);
contactdata[i].previousSibling.addEventListener('click',ShowHide,false);
contactdata[i].style.display="none";
}
}
}
The problem is that the alert displays undefined. Why can't it see the node? Is there a better way to do this in Javascript?

Because previousSibling is most likely the text node before the div element. You probably want to use previousElementSibling instead :)
In most browser today, querySelectorAll, which lets you use CSS selectors for finding elements, is also a good alternative (IE8+)

The previousSibling property returns the previous sibling node (the previous node in the same tree level) of the selected element
which returns in your case the TEXT node.
As you can see in this jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Xu383/
alert(contactdata[i].previousSibling.nodeName);
You are better of using the querySelectorAll.
Also you can't have multiple divs with the SAME id, use class instead.

querySelector syntax for nested elements

I'm trying to get the div element that's nested deep within another div, but can't get the CSS Selector string to work.
The div I want does not have a unique identifier, but resides deep within another div that has. I've gotten that top level div, but have no clue how to get the nested one.
DOM:
var obj = document.body.querySelector('.qvobject[data-qlikobjectid="XFvnjF"]');
console.log(obj);
var cont = obj.querySelector('.kpi-value');
console.log(cont);
<div class="qvobject" data-qlikobjectid="XFvnjF">
<div>
<div>
<div class="kpi-value">I WANT THIS</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The result is that "obj" is the right object, but "cont" is null, so it can't find it.
You can select it using the child selector. Just put a space between the parent selector and the child selector.
This makes the traverser go further to any level in the dom to select the desired element.
var element = document.querySelector('.qvobject[data-qlikobjectid="XFvnjF"] .kpi-value');
console.log(element);
<div class="qvobject" data-qlikobjectid="XFvnjF">
<div>
<div>
<div class="kpi-value">I WANT THIS</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

JavaScript/jQuery detect if div contains text excluding children

I need to verify if a DIV has some text or not inside of it BUT NOT inside its children, eg see this example
<div id='one'>
<div id='two'>Abc</div>
</div>
<div id='three'>xyz
<div id='four'></div>
</div>
If I hover/click element one I want to get false (no text), but if i hover element three I want to get true
i tried using
$('#one').text().trim().length > 0
but it seems to check also any children which is want I do not want to happen
This is already answered here: jquery - get text for element without children text
Also mentions using a plugin to accomplish getting only the text of the element and not child elements here: http://viralpatel.net/blogs/jquery-get-text-element-without-child-element/
This meets your requirements
window.onload=function(){
var two = document.getElementById('two').textContent;
console.log(two.trim()=='');
var three = document.getElementById('three').textContent;
console.log(three.trim()=='');
}
<div id='one'>
<div id='two'>Abc</div>
</div>
<div id='three'>
<div id='four'></div>
</div>

using document.querySelector with complex CSS selectors

In JavaScript I want to use document.querySelector to "grab" the last div (<div class="widget-footer">) in below HTML. However after many tries, I still can't figure out the correct CSS selector syntax to use.
The following code does not work:
document.querySelector (".skin-grid-widgets.ui-sortable.gridWidgetTemplatePositie.AgendaStandaard.disablesorting.hoogte-1-knoppen-0.breedte-1.widget-footer")
Here is the HTML I am working with
<div class="skin-grid enkeleKolom" id="Infobalk">
<div class="skin-grid-widgets ui-sortable">
<div class="gridWidgetTemplatePositie AgendaStandaard disablesorting hoogte-1-knoppen-0 breedte-1">
<div class="widget-header">
here comes the header text
</div>
<div class="widget-body">
some body text
</div>
<div class="widget-footer">
here comes the footer text
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I've surfed everywhere to find example of complex CSS selectors used with querySelector, but to no avail. Any help would be really appreciated.
Your issue is you need a space in between each child element you are trying to select. If you do not have spaces in between your class selectors, by CSS specification, it will look for both classes on the same element.
Change your selector to look like the following:
var footer = document.querySelector(".skin-grid-widgets.ui-sortable .gridWidgetTemplatePositie.AgendaStandaard.disablesorting.hoogte-1-knoppen-0.breedte-1 .widget-footer");
footer.classList.add("highlight");
.highlight {
background-color: yellow;
}
<div class="skin-grid enkeleKolom" id="Infobalk">
<div class="skin-grid-widgets ui-sortable">
<div class="gridWidgetTemplatePositie AgendaStandaard disablesorting hoogte-1-knoppen-0 breedte-1">
<div class="widget-header">
here comes the header text
</div>
<div class="widget-body">
some body text
</div>
<div class="widget-footer">
here comes the footer text
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
try this:
<script>
document.querySelector (".skin-grid-widgets .gridWidgetTemplatePositie .widget-footer");
</script>
You don't need to add adjacent classes like "skin-grid-widgets ui-sortable" in querySelector, if you do so then query selector assumes that "skin-grid-widgets" is parent of "ui-sortable". Use just one of the classes at one DOM level.
The selector ain't complex, your thoughts are.
Listen to yourself, to the description you provide of what you want to select:
"grab" the last div in below HTML
Not grab the node with the class widget-footer inside of a node that has all these classes: gridWidgetTemplatePositie AgendaStandaard disablesorting hoogte-1-knoppen-0 breedte-1, inside a node ...
//a utility, because DRY.
//and because it's nicer to work with Arrays than with NodeLists or HTMLCollections.
function $$(selector, ctx=document){
return Array.from(ctx.querySelectorAll(selector));
}
//and the last div in this document:
var target = $$('div').pop();
or
"grab" <div class="widget-footer"> in below HTML
var target = document.querySelector("div.widget-footer");
or the combination: grab the last div.widget-footer in the HTML
var target = $$('div.widget-footer').pop();

how to target an external div in javascript

I have this situation:
<div id="first">
<div>
<p>text</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="second">
<div>
<button class="button">click</button>
</div>
</div>
...
<div id="first"> ... </div>
<div id="second"> ... </div>
...
and so on, the structure repeats.
This structure is created dynamically so I can't use any specific class nor id for the first div.
I need to retrieve the text in the first div when I hit the button in the second div.
(NOTE: I need a pure javascript solution, not a jQuery solution)
Thanks
Assuming you have an event handler for the button click, you could do this from that event handler:
function buttonClickHandler(e) {
var first = this.parentNode.parentNode.previousSibling;
var paragraphs = first.getElementsByTagName("p");
var text = paragraphs[0].textContent;
}
If you have common and known class names on the the divs marked first and second, then you can make your Javascript code much more insulated from markup changes which is generally a good idea.
P.S. I presume you know that you should't have duplicate id values in your HTML. This code doesn't use them, but you should be using class names instead of id values if you're going to have duplicates.

how do i get div childs from jquery/javascript in this example?

i'm trying to access to the div's child by using jquery's .eq() function, but it looks like something's wrong, despite the fact is not throwing an error, looks like when i do a .innerHTML to the desired child div element, nothing happens.
This is my HTML:
<div id="status_container">
<div class="status_item_wrapper">
<div class="status_item_title">
<span>TITLE 1</span>
</div>
<div class="status_item_content">
<table id="box-table"></table>
</div>
</div>
<div class="status_item_wrapper">
<div class="status_item_title">
<span>TITLE 2</span>
</div>
<div class="status_item_content">
<table id="box-table"></table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And this is my javascript:
function doSomething(message) {
var data = message.data;
var index_container = 0;
var container = $("#status_container").eq(0);
var content_wrapper = container.eq(1); // this would be the content div of each child
content_wrapper.html(JSON.stringify(data));
}
I thought this would get the "TITLE 1" status_item_wrapper div, and then, content_wrapper would contain the "status_item_content" object.
How am i supposed to reach the "status_item_content" div from the very first parent "status_container"?
Thanks.
content_wrapper is a jQuery object, as that is what eq() returns, and does'nt have an innerHTML method, you should use jQuery's html() :
content_wrapper.html( JSON.stringify(data) );
to return the native DOM element instead, you can use get(), and do :
var content_wrapper = container.get(1);
content_wrapper.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data);
EDIT:
Now that you've added container, there are some issues. eq() will get a certain element in a collection of elements based on a zero based index, and you're using an ID as a selector, so there should'nt really be a collection, as ID's are unique, and should only select one single element.
If you're trying to select the second child inside the #status_container element, you'd do
var content_wrapper = $("#status_container").children().eq(1);
