jQuery add class based on parent URL

on my homepage, I currently have a jQuery that adds a class (in this case an underline) to the link element. This works great and is based on comparing the url (url/firstsubmenu) in the browser with the href of the link element.
However as soon as I go to a child of that link element (url/firstsubmenu/secondsubmenu), the class is gone. I have tried to split the url so that the jQuery always looks for the parent but I just can't solve it. Can you help me?
Could it be solved by adding another code, like maybe "if (this).children().length > 0 ?"
Here is my jQuery:
var cururl = window.location.href;
cururl = cururl.split('#')[0];
jQuery("a.rs-layer").each(function(){
if(jQuery(this).attr('href')=== cururl){
jQuery(this).addClass("current-slider-menu");
}
});
EDIT: I am new to this, and I have tried so many different codes, googled for hours. I now know that I can only write JavaScript in my CMS. That is, I cannot use jQuery operators such as, for example, $.

Try this,
Change the class/selectors as per your requirement. This will add a unique class in the li element, now you can style this using css.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".main_menu li").removeClass('current-slider-menu');
$(".main_menu li>a").filter(function(){
return this.href == location.href.replace(/#.*/, "");
}).parent("li").addClass("current-slider-menu");
});

You're definitely on the right track.
You can grab the currentURL (before the anchor #):
const currentURL = window.location.href.split('#')[0];
Then you can split the currentURL into its constituent folders:
const currentURLArray = currentURL.split('/');
Then, separately, you can grab all the myLinks:
const myLinks = [...document.querySelectorAll('a.rs-layer')];
And finally you can cycle through myLinks and if the name of the folder you want to match does match the name of the equivalent folder in the currentURL, then you can add the .current-slider-menu class:
for (myLink of myLinks) {
if (myLink.href.split('/')[1] === currentURLArray[1]) {
myLink.classList.add('current-slider-menu');
}
}
Complete Example:
const currentURL = window.location.href.split('#')[0];
const currentURLArray = currentURL.split('/');
const myLinks = [...document.querySelectorAll('a.rs-layer')];
for (myLink of myLinks) {
if (myLink.href.split('/')[1] === currentURLArray[1]) {
myLink.classList.add('current-slider-menu');
}
}

EDITED
try this
var cururl = window.location.href;
jQuery("rs-layer[id|='"+cururl.split('/')[3]+"'] , .rs-layer[href='"+cururl+"']").each(function(){
jQuery(this).addClass("current-slider-menu");
});

I solved it like this instead, skipping the whole idea with text-decoration.
I added an arrow. Finished.
JS:
var url = window.location.href;
var msg = document.getElementById('current-menu-item-arrow');
if( url.search( 'my-word' ) > 0 ) {
msg.style.display = "block";
}
CSS:
#current-menu-item-arrow {display:none;}

JQuery: Finding a way to name cloned input fields

I'm not the best at using jQuery, but I do require it to be able to make my website user-friendly.
I have several tables involved in my website, and for each the user should be able to add/delete rows. I created a jquery function, with help from stackoverflow, and it successfully added/deleted rows. Now the only problem with this is the names for those input fields is slightly messed up. I would like each input field to be an array: so like name[0] for the first row, name[1] for the second row, etc. I have a bunch of tables all with different inputs, so how would I make jQuery adjust the names accordingly?
My function, doesn't work completely, but I do not know how to go about changing it.
My Jquery function looks like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").on('click', '.add_row', function() {
var tr = $(this).closest('.row').prev('table').find('tr.ia_table:last');
var clone = tr.clone();
clone.find("input").val('');
clone.find("select").val('');
clone.find('input').each(function(i) {
$(this).attr('name', $(this).attr('name') + i);
});
clone.find('select').each(function(i) {
$(this).attr('name', $(this).attr('name') + i);
});
tr.after(clone);
});
$("body").on('click', '.delete_row', function() {
var rowCount = $(this).closest('.row').prev('table').find('tr.ia_table').length;
var tr = $(this).closest('.row').prev('table').find('tr.ia_table:last');
if (rowCount > 1) {
tr.remove();
};
});
});
I also created a jsFiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/tareenmj/err73gLL/.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
UPDATE - Partial Working Solution
After help from a lot of users, I was able to create a function which does this:
$("body").on('click', '.add_row', function() {
var tr = $(this).closest('.row').prev('table').find('tr.ia_table:last');
var clone = tr.clone();
clone.find("input").val('');
clone.find("select").val('');
clone.find('input').each(function() {
var msg=$(this).attr('name');
var x=parseInt(msg.split('[').pop().split(']').shift());
var test=msg.substr(0,msg.indexOf('['))+"[";
x++;
x=x.toString();
test=test+x+"]";
$(this).attr('name', test);
});
clone.find('select').each(function() {
var msg1=$(this).attr('name');
var x1=parseInt(msg1.split('[').pop().split(']').shift());
var test1=msg1.substr(0,msg1.indexOf('['))+"[";
x1++;
x1=x1.toString();
test1=test1+x1+"]";
$(this).attr('name', test1);
});
tr.after(clone);
});
A working jsFiddle is here: https://jsfiddle.net/tareenmj/amojyjjn/2/
The only problem is that if I do not select any of the options in the select inputs, it doesn't provide me with a value of null, whereas it should. Any tips on fixing this issue?

I think I understand your problem. See if this fiddle works for you...
This is what I did, inside each of the clone.find() functions, I added the following logic...
clone.find('input').each(function(i) {
// extract the number part of the name
number = parseInt($(this).attr('name').substr($(this).attr('name').indexOf("_") + 1));
// increment the number
number += 1;
// extract the name itself (without the row index)
name = $(this).attr('name').substr(0, $(this).attr('name').indexOf('_'));
// add the row index to the string
$(this).attr('name', name + "_" + number);
});
In essence, I separate the name into 2 parts based on the _, the string and the row index. I increment the row index every time the add_row is called.
So each row will have something like the following structure when a row is added...
// row 1
sectionTB1_1
presentationTB1_1
percentageTB1_1
courseTB1_1
sessionTB1_1
reqElecTB1_1
// row 2
sectionTB1_2
presentationTB1_2
percentageTB1_2
courseTB1_2
sessionTB1_2
reqElecTB1_2
// etc.
Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

Full Working Solution for Anyone Who needs it
So after doing loads and loads of research, I found a very simple way on how to do this. Instead of manually adjusting the name of the array, I realised that the clone method will do it automatically for you if you supply an array as the name. So something like name="name[]" will end up working. The brackets without any text has to be there. Explanation can't possible describe the code fully, so here is the JQuery code required for this behaviour to work:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").on('click', '.add_row', function() {
var tr = $(this).closest('.row').prev('table').find('tr.ia_table:last');
var clone = tr.clone();
clone.find("input").val('');
tr.after(clone);
});
$("body").on('click', '.delete_row', function() {
var rowCount =
$(this).closest('.row').prev('table').find('tr.ia_table').length;
var tr = $(this).closest('.row').prev('table').find('tr.ia_table:last');
if (rowCount > 1) {
tr.remove();
};
});
});
A fully working JSfiddle is provided here: https://jsfiddle.net/tareenmj/amojyjjn/5/
Just a tip, that you have to be remove the disabled select since this will not pass a value of null.

Add cheerio-based search loop to node-simplecrawler

I am crawling a website with node-simplecrawler and I need to search for certain attribute values in a certain divs on each page.
The simplecrawler docs suggest the following structure for such task:
myCrawler.on("fetchcomplete",function(queueItem,data,res) {
var continue = this.wait();
doSomeDiscovery(data,function(foundURLs){
foundURLs.forEach(crawler.queueURL.bind(crawler));
continue();
});
});
I tried and tried, but can't figure out where exactly and how to insert my piece of Cheerio-based search code into that structure. Would really really appreciate some help here.
var $ = cheerio.load(html);
$('div#jsid-post-container').each(function(i, element){
var StuffINeedToFetch = $(this).attr('data-external-id').text;

There actually was no need to mess with doSomeDiscovery. Solution is to work with responseBuffer contents directly:
myCrawler.on("fetchcomplete",function(queueItem, responseBuffer){
html = responseBuffer.toString();
var $ = cheerio.load(html);
$('div#jsid-post-container').each(function(i, element){
var StuffINeedToFetch = $(this).attr('data-external-id').text;
});

id of a link that a function is called from

I hope it's not a problem to post much specific code here, but I figure it will be better explained if everyone can just see it, so I will give you my code and then I will explain my problem.
My code:
function addBeGoneLinks () {
var beGoneClassElems;
var beGoneSpan;
var beGoneLink;
var beGonePrintSafe;
var spacesSpan;
//var middotSpan = document.createElement ('span');
var interactionContainer = document.getElementsByClassName('feedItemInteractionContainer');
for (var i=0; i<children.length; i++)
{
beGonePrintSafe = false;
beGoneClassElems = children[i].getElementsByClassName('beGone')
beGonePrintSafe = true;
if (beGoneClassElems.length == 0)
{
beGoneLink = document.createElement('a');
beGoneLink.href = 'javascript:void(0);';
beGoneLink.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Be Gone'));
beGoneLink.className = 'beGone';
beGoneLink.id = 'beGoneLink' + i.toString();
beGoneLink.addEventListener ("click", function() {beGone();}, false);//This line!
beGoneLink.align = 'right';
spacesSpan = document.createElement('span');
spacesSpan.innerHTML = ' - ';
if (interactionContainer[i] != undefined)
{
interactionContainer[i].appendChild(spacesSpan);
interactionContainer[i].appendChild(beGoneLink);
}
}
}
}
Here I have a function from a Greasemonkey script that I am working on. When one of the links is clicked, my aim is to have it call the function beGone() which will, among other things, remove the whole element a few parents up, thereby removing their sibling's, their parents and their parents' siblings, and one or two levels after that.
My idea was just to get the id of the link that was pressed and pass it to beGone() so that I could then get the parents using its id, but I do not know how to do that. Am I able to have the id of a link passed by the function that it calls? If not, is there any other way to do this?
I am not sure whether I am missing some really simple solution, but I haven't been able to find one rooting around the web, especially because I was unsure how I would search for this specific problem.

Try this:
beGoneLink.addEventListener("click", beGone, false);
beGone = function (evt) {
evt.target; // evt.target refers to the clicked element.
...
}
You can then use evt.target.id, evt.target.parentNode, etc.

Inject Code via Jquery Around specific Content

I'm having a bit of a quarrel with jQuery. I'm trying to inject a span with a specific class around a part of the content on an HTML page.
For example, this is the html I have:
<td class="">4 view</td>
And what I want is
<td class=""><span class="num_cell">4</span> view</td>
I feel this may be easier than I'm making it -- can anyone help?

This should also work:
$('td').each(function(){
$(this).contents().first().wrap("<span class='num_cell'>");
})

if you only want to cover only textNode you should use .contents() which also returns textNodes as item.
Please check the documentation http://api.jquery.com/contents/ there is an example which is exact answer of your question.
$("p").contents().filter(function(){ return this.nodeType != 1; }).wrap("<b/>");
After your comment, I don t think you need a loop for this, can you try the below code?
$("td").contents().filter(function(){ return this.previousSibling == null && this.nodeType != this.TEXT_NODE; }).wrap("<span/>");
this.previousSibling == null means it is first if you want to check if it is the first element or not
Cheers.

Have a look at this http://jsfiddle.net/zkjyV/30/
$(document).ready(function() {
$("td").each(function() {
var $div = $(this);
var $a = $div.find("a");
$div.find(a).remove();
var number = $div.html();
$div.html("<span class='num_cell'>" + number + "</span>").append($a);
});
});​
I did it with a div so it would run in jsFiddle. But you can replace the div with a and it should work just fine :)
Here's the final version http://jsfiddle.net/zkjyV/33/

Wow.. lots of answers already, here's a pure javascript answer for what it's worth.. I added an ID to the cell to make it simple, but you could easily take it from there to make it generic..
HTML
<td class="" id="targetCell">4 view</td>​
JS:
//get the parent reference to cache and avoid requerying the DOM
var parentCell = document.getElementById('targetCell');
// get the value of the first node (in this case TextNode)
var result = parentCell.firstChild.nodeValue;
// remove the TextNode
parentCell.removeChild(parentCell.firstChild);
// create a new span
var newSpan = document.createElement("SPAN");
//just for testing
newSpan.style.backgroundColor = 'orange';
//populate the value
newSpan.innerText = result;
//inject before the first child
parentCell.insertBefore(newSpan, parentCell.firstChild);​
