I have a page so far with:
<div id="x1">Text paragraph 1<link here></div>
<div id="x2">Text paragraph 2<link here></div>
<div id="x3">Text paragraph 3<link here></div>
Where link here is like
google
What I am trying to do is add a link to the bottom of each paragraph of text so that when it is clicked it displays an alert with the div id of that text block.
So for example, if someone clicks on the link at the bottom of text paragraph 2, then they will get an alert saying "x2".
So far, I have only been able to think of a way involving an onclick event for each link in each div. But with 100 paragraphs this could become quite a lot and is messy code.
like
$('#x1').onclick(function(){
alert('x1');
});
How can I do this better?
The page is generated with php so I could put the div id's anywhere in that text block area (even make a new div around the link if required)...
EDIT - Many good answers, I don't know which to pick as best. I actually ended up using Loongawas for my purpose as its easy to make for my beginner level in php.
<div id='a1'>This text <a href="" onclick=tomato(1)>test</a>
</div>
<div id='a2'>This text <a href="" onclick=tomato(2)>test</a>
</div>
<div id='a3'>This text <a href="" onclick=tomato(3)>test</a>
</div>
and
function tomato(test){
alert(test);
};
Some of the others are incredibly interesting as they use higher functions. I'm going to spend the rest of the day looking into them. Thanks to all.
use jQuery's live or delegate functions:
$('div a').live('click', function(ev){
alert($(this).closest('div').attr('id'));
});
The benefit to the live/delegate functions is that there's actually only a single event on the entire page for this (as opposed to one event per link). If you add more links dynamically, this still works without having to attach more events.
The difference between live and delegate is that delegate is specific to a part of the page. If, for instance, you wrapped all of these DIVs in another div, the call would look like:
$('#wrapperDiv').delegate('a', 'click', function(ev){ ...
The advantage to this is that the internal jQuery code that checks to see if the click matches the selector only runs on clicks inside of #wrapperDiv instead of clicks anywhere on the page.
You could make a javascript function that takes a variable and then pass the paragraph number to the function. If the paragraph was number two you could call
myfunction(2);
or is the number not the problem?
$('#x1, #x2, #x3').click(function(){
alert($(this).parents().attr("id"));
});
EDIT:
Better version:
HTML:
<div class="x">Text paragraph 1<link here></div>
<div class="x">Text paragraph 2<link here></div>
<div class="x">Text paragraph 3<link here></div>
$('.x a').click(function(){
alert($(this).parents().attr("id"));
});
Have you considered using a class to name them all as opposed to explicit ids?
<div class="x">Text paragraph 1<link here></div>
<div class="x">Text paragraph 2<link here></div>
<div class="x">Text paragraph 3<link here></div>
so then you would be able to use a single click event for all of them?
$(".x a").click()
{
//Use $(this) to refer to the clicked item.
alert($(this).parents().attr("id"));
});
$('.myDivs').click(function(){
alert($(this).parent().attr("id"));
});
Or select the divs in some other way:
$('#x1').parent().children('div').click(...);
Something along these lines should work:
<div id="x1">Text paragraph 1 <a href='google.com'>google.com</a></div>
<div id="x2">Text paragraph 2 <a href='google.com'>google.com</a></div>
<div id="x3">Text paragraph 3 <a href='google.com'>google.com</a></div>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js'></script>
<script>
$('a').click(function() {
alert($(this).parent().attr('id'))
return false
})
</script>
Add a class to each div, so you can select all of 'em at once.
<div id="x1" class="x">Text paragraph 1 <a>Click</a></div>
<div id="x2" class="x">Text paragraph 2 <a>Click</a></div>
<div id="x3" class="x">Text paragraph 3 <a>Click</a></div>
Then you can do:
$('div.x a').live('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
alert($(this).closest('div.x').attr('id'));
});
http://jsfiddle.net/VGh3X/1/
A better approach to this is to make all of the clickable areas share something in common that you can use as a selector. For example, if all of the clickable divs had class='click', you'd be able to select them all using $('.click') and bind to that.
$('.click a').bind('click', function() {
var div = this.closest('.click');
alert(div.attr('id'));
return false;
});
$(document).ready(function() {
var links = $("div[id^='x'] a"); //get the a tags
$.each(links, function(i,v) {
$(v).click(function() { //bind on click
alert(v.parentNode.id); //alert div id
return false; // stop
});
});
});

This seems to be a common question, however when I check the answers, they're all different.
I have a row of five links. Each has a corresponding div below. When I click a links, I want its div to display and all others to hide.
Here's some code I came across that seems to be on the right track:
$('a').on('click', function(){
var target = $(this).attr('rel');
$("#"+target).show().siblings("div").hide();
});
But if I use "a" without a destination, clicking the link takes me to the top of the page. I just want the divs below to show or hide...
Can I use "button" or "div" instead of "a"? If so, what would I use instead of "rel"?
Sorry for the noob question. I just can't seem to make any of the solutions I've found here work for my site. What's the simplest way to do this?
Here's some HTML that definitely works with the jquery script above:
$('a').on('click', function() {
var target = $(this).attr('rel');
$("#" + target).show().siblings("div").hide();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Week 3
Week 4
<div>
<div id="week_3" style="display: none">[..xz.]</div>
<div id="week_4" style="display: none">[...]</div>
</div>
However if my href="", clicking that link bounces me up to the top of my page for some reason. So I'd rather use a clickable div or a button rather than a hotlink. In which case, what can I use in the script instead of "rel"?
It seems you only need to prevent the default behaviour by adding e.preventDefault();
$('a').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = $(this).attr('rel');
$("#" + target).show().siblings("div").hide();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Week 3
Week 4
<div>
<div id="week_3" style="display: none">[..xz.]</div>
<div id="week_4" style="display: none">[...]</div>
</div>
You can use below values on your href.
Anchor
Here is the complete explanation for javascript:void(0)
The JavaScript void operator evaluates the given expression and then
returns a value of undefined. https://www.quackit.com/javascript/tutorial/javascript_void_0.cfm
Try using href="javascript:" or href="#" instead of leaving the attribute empty. href="" tells the browser to reload the current page that you are in, which is why it bounces you to the top of the page.
You can also use <button> or <div>, the effect will not be very different from using <a>. You can also use rel if you are using <button> or <div>. In fact, it is arguably better to use rel on <button> and <div> because the attribute does not have any functional purpose in those tags. On the contrary, <a> uses the rel attribute to specify a few things to browsers.
Target attribute does not suitable for divs it is only for windows or iframes. Also, hyperlink should has href attribute otherwise it will be an anchor or placeholder link in HTML5 specifications.
You may use any conjugation attributes between the link and its div such as link title will be div id.
Example:
Show DIV 1
Show DIV 2
Show DIV 3
<div id="div1" class="linked-div" style="display: none"> One</div>
<div id="div2" class="linked-div" style="display: none"> Two</div>
<div id="div3" class="linked-div" style="display: none"> Three</div>
<script>
$("a").click(function(){
divId = $(this).attr("title");
$(".linked-div").each(function(){
if ($(this) == $("#"+divId)){
$(this).show()
}
else{
$(this).hide()
}
})
$("#"+divId).show();
})
</script>
DEMO
I am dynamically assigning the div id based on the api call back data. For example I have a bunch of data returned which is appended to a div and I can assign the div id with a unique ip address. I have full control over what I can assign i.e. DIV id or class or whatever..
I have attached an example of what the output looks like and hopefully it will clarify what i am looking for.
What I want to be able to achieve is when an endpoint link is clicked, it will show the respective div and hide all other DIV data boxes.. The endpoint links can made clickable and i can add onclick scripts to them or whatever needs to be done
Whether we use the div id or class name i am not fussed.
This should work just fine.
Assign your div with a class, in the demo i'm using EndPoint. The onclick function will use the class to find the div element and hide it. Then it will use this the element used to trigger the function, target the div within that element and show it.
$('.EndPoint').on('click', function () {
$('.EndPoint').find('div').hide();
$(this).find('div').show();
});
.EndPoint div{display:none;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [0]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 216.12.145.20</div>
</div>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [1]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 172.230.105.123</div>
</div>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [2]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 206.204.52.31</div>
</div>
If you don't understand anything please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Edit - jQuery Append with onclick
var IPs=["216.12.145.20","172.230.105.123","206.204.52.31"];
//Foreach value in array
$.each(IPs, function(i,v) {
//Append to id:container
$('#container').append('<div class="EndPoint">End Point ['+i+']<div><b>IP Address:</b> '+v+'</div></div>');
});
$('.EndPoint').on('click', function () {
$('.EndPoint').find('div').hide();
$(this).find('div').show();
});
.EndPoint div{display:none;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="container"></div>
I hope this helps. Happy coding!
Since elements are dynamically generated it's better to do with classes IMO.
HTML
<div id="endpoint1">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 1</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
<div id="endpoint2">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 2</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
<div id="endpoint3">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 3</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
JavaScript (using JQuery)
$('.clicker').on('click', function () {
$('.hideThis').hide();
$(this).next().show();
});
http://jsfiddle.net/ksvexr40/1
If you want to hide the content initially, just add the following CSS class which hides the content initially.
.hideThis{
display: none;
}
Okay so I have a very limited amount of knowledge with this and I can not find my answer anywhere. What I am trying to do is create multiple buttons that toggle information. So when the first toggle is clicked div 1 is toggled, when i click the second toggle div two opens and preferably div 1 closes. My code is very basic I am very new to this. Right now no matter what values I input into the toggle area both divs close. Thank you and I hope this makes sense.
Here is my code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("div.house").toggle();
});
});
</script>
<button>Toggle</button>
<div class="house">
<p>SAMPLE TEXT ETC...</p>
</div>
<button>Toggle</button>
<div class="tumble-by">
<p>SAMPLE TEXT ETC...</p>
</div>
You can select the next sibling:
$("button").click(function(){
$(this).next().toggle();
});
In the above code, JavaScript this keyword refers to the clicked element. $(this) creates a jQuery collection and .next() method selects the very next sibling of the collection's element.
I agree too, that first you need to hide all divs:
$("button").click(function () {
$('div').hide();
$(this).next().toggle();
});
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$(document).on("click", ".js-toggle__button", function (e) {
$(".js-toggle__text").hide();
$(this).next(".js-toggle__text").show();
});
});
</script>
<button class="toggle__button js-toggle__button">Toggle</button>
<div class="toggle__text js-toggle__text">
<p>SAMPLE TEXT 1 ETC...</p>
</div>
<button class="toggle__button js-toggle__button">Toggle</button>
<div class="toggle__text js-toggle__text">
<p>SAMPLE TEXT 2 ETC...</p>
</div>
It's better to use uniquely defined identifiers when you accessing elements from JS (and don't use them for CSS — use separate names).
Your HTML code some day can be changed dramatically and JS will work anyway because it depends on identifiers but not on structure or on tag names.
I'm tinkering a bit with jquery to show a hidden div when a link is clicked. This should be fairly simple, but there's a flaw to it in this case. I have the following markup:
<div class="first-row">
<div class="week">
<p>Uge 2</p>
<p>(08-01-11)</p>
</div>
<div class="destination">
<p>Les Menuires</p>
<p>(Frankrig)</p>
</div>
<div class="days">4</div>
<div class="transport">Bil</div>
<div class="lift-card">3 dage</div>
<div class="accommodation">
<p><a class="show-info" href="#">Hotel Christelles (halvpension)</a></p>
<p>4-pers. værelse m. bad/toilet</p>
</div>
<div class="order">
<p>2149,-</p>
<p class="old-price">2249,-</p>
</div>
<div class="hotel-info">
<!-- The div I want to display on click -->
</div>
</div>
When I click the "show-info" link I want the "hotel-info" div to display.
My backend devs don't want me to use ids (don't ask me why..) and the above markup is used over and over again to display data. Therefore I need to be able to access the "hotel-info" div in the "first-row" div where the link is clicked.
I've tried to do something like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.show-info').click(function() {
var parentElement = $(this).parent().parent();
var lastElementOfParent = parentElement.find(".show-hotel");
lastElementOfParent.show();
});
});
But without a result :-/ Is this possible at all?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!
Try this:
$('.show-info').click(function() {
$(this).closest('.accommodation').siblings('.hotel-info').show();
});
Even better imo, as it would be independent from where the link is in a row, if every "row div" has the same class (I assume only the first one has class first-row), you can do:
$(this).closest('.row-class').find('.hotel-info').show();
Reference: .closest, .siblings
Explanation why your code does not work:
$(this).parent().parent();
gives you the div with class .accommodation and this one has no descendant with class .hotel-info.
It is not a good idea to use this kind of traversal for more than one level anyway. If the structure is changed a bit, your code will break. Always try to use methods that won't break on structure changes.
You're right in not using an ID element to find the DIV you want :)
Use closest and nextAll
Live demo here : http://jsfiddle.net/jomanlk/xTWzn/
$('.show-info').click(function(){
$(this).closest('.accommodation').nextAll('.hotel-info').toggle();
});
My plan is to have lots of boxes (an undefined amount). When show box is clicked under a box, it shows that particular box.
I have some unique divs in my html. The div is made unique by:
<div id="box-<%=box.id%>"></div>
In my application.js, I have
$('.show-box > a').click(function(){
$('#box').show();
});
I obviously need to have the box-id in the $('#box').show(); part but I'm unsure how to do that...
EDIT: adding more information
<div class="show-box">
Show
</div>
<div class="box" id="box-<%= box.id %>"></div>
The class is for styling.
Just to add, I know that the javascript link should link to an actual link. I'll fix that later.
You would use this inside the handler to refer to the specific .show-box > a that was clicked.
So it depends on what the relationship is between that and the box element you want to display.
When you say under, if that means that it is a sibling to the .show-box element, you can use .parent() to traverse up from the <a>, then use .prev() to traverse back to the box.
$('.show-box > a').click(function() {
// "this" refers to the <a> that was clicked.
$(this).parent().prev().show();
});
Ultimately, the correct solution depends on your actual HTML markup. If you provide that in your question, it would be helpful.
You could select by ID if you want, but it is often not necessary.
On easy way would be to name your box ids after you a ids, or write another attribute into the a. For example if your a tag's ID was "anchor1", assign the corresponding div an id of "box-anchor1". Then, reference it like this:
$('.show-box > a').click(function(){
$('#box' + this.attr('id')).show();
});
If the box and the link that shows it are logically related, you can skip the whole unique ID business by using the following:
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="box">
<!-- stuff in the box -->
</div>
Show
</div>
jQuery
$("div.container a").click(function() {
$(this).prev().show(); // prev() will get the div.box element.
});
On the other hand, if they are not related structurally, you can use the fragment part of the URL to reference the box ID:
HTML
<div>
<div class="box" id="box-1">...</div>
<div class="box" id="box-2">...</div>
</div>
<div>
<a class="boxtoggler" href="#box-1">Show Box 1</a>
<a class="boxtoggler" href="#box-2">Show Box 2</a>
</div>
jQuery
$("a.boxtoggler").click(function() {
var boxId = $(this).attr("href");
$(boxId).show();
});
Note how we're abusing the fact that the fragment section of a URL is preceded by a # character to make it into a css ID ;)
Not sure I understood your question, but if you want to show the clicked box:
$('.show-box > a').click(function(){
$(this).parents('.show-box').show();
});
