jquery select class inside parent div - javascript

I'm trying to change the alt of the image, I'm clicking by
selecting the image's class (add_answer)
Note: .add_answer shows up multiple times inside different containing div's
jQuery(function(){ // Add Answer
jQuery(".add_answer").click(function(){
var count = $(this).attr("alt");
count++;
$('.a_type_'+count+'').show();
$(this).parents("div:first").$('.add_answer').attr("alt", count);
});
});
This line doesn't seem to be working, how do I select this add_answer class by way of it's parent div
$(this).parents("div:first").$('.add_answer').attr("alt", count);
Anyone else have an idea?
I'm trying having trouble decreasing the alt value on the .add_answer image when .destroy_answer is clicked
jQuery(function(){ // Hide Answer
jQuery(".destroy_answer").click(function(){
$(this).parents("div:first").hide();
var count = $('.add_answer').attr("alt");
count--;
$('.add_answer',$(this).parent('div:first')).attr('alt',count);
});
});
Problem line:
$('.add_answer',$(this).parent('div:first')).attr('alt',count);

you can use the parent div as the scope:
$('.add_answer',$(this).parent('div:first')).attr('alt',count);

This should work:
$(this).parent("div").find(".add_answer").attr("alt", count);

You code is almost correct. Required change is to use .find instead of .$ after .parents method. Use of .parent instead of .parents should be avoided, this way your code will be more unobtrusive (precisely - this way img can be non-direct child of the div).
$(this).parents('div:eq(0)').find('.add_answer')
You can manipulate :eq(0) to select eg third parent div using :eq(2).

Store jQuery in a variable

I've got an FAQ page I'm building. Next to the question, there is a plus sign to expand the content. On click, I've added the class active, but there are many questions, and I don't want to repeat the same jQuery snippet for each question. I've figured out how to find the parent ID but I'm having trouble storing it in an variable to reuse in the jQuery script.
What I want to be able to do:
var element = $(this).parent().parent().attr('id')
$('.expand').click(function(){
$('element .expand').toggleClass('active')
})
Is there a way to do this? I get undefined when I do this:
$('.expand').click(function(){
console.log(element)
});
You can use the find() function to locate children of a selected element:
var element = $(this).parent().parent().attr('id')
$('.expand').click(function(){
$("#" + element).find('.expand').toggleClass('active')
});
However, looking at your code, it seems like you just want to toggle the "active" class of the clicked element. If that is the case, you can do this much more simply without a variable at all:
$('.expand').click(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('active')
});

How to select some elements and append a div after them?

I've bene bursting my head for the last few hours. Here's the situation:
I have a website that has many divs, but many of them share classes (they are equal) but have some different texts. Example:
<div class="summary-title">
I Am That Girl</div>
<div class="summary-title">
I Am That Girl</div>
What I want to do is select each one of these divs and add a span whenever another div is hovered.
I mean, this is what I want to do: hover a div that's before the sumary-title div, a span with a class is appended inside the sumary-title div or out of it, whatever works.
That's what I got so far:
$('summary-title').each(function(index) {
var content = $(index).next().text();
$(index).append("<span class='hover-text'>"+content+"</span>");
});
But I get an error that $ is not defined, probably because it is a closure?
I have no idea what to do. The code seems horrible too — i need to do this quickly and I just can't do. Would anyone help me at least know what to do?
Thanks
append() is already an implicit iteration ( that loops through the set of elements in the jQuery collection.) and it's unnecessary to call .each() .
$('.summary-title').append(function() {
return "<span class='hover-text'>" + $('a', this).text() + "</span>";
});
Outside of making sure you have jQuery on your page and properly referring it, your code should go like:
$('.summary-title').each(function() {
var content = $(this).children('a:first').text();
$(this).append("<span class='hover-text'>"+content+"</span>");
});
Notice:
dot in class selector - $('.summary-title')
this instead of index - $(this)
children selector instead of next
Check demo - Fiddle.
To append this to a preceding element on hover use:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('.summary-title').hover( function() {
var content = $(this).children('a:first').text();
$(this).prev().append("<span class='hover-text'>"+content+"</span>");
});
});

Getting ALL First links in a specific class

So I know that using "a:first" will get the first link of a page. Lets assume we have the following:
<div class="masterclass">
Link 1
Link 2
</div>
<div class="masterclass">
Link 1
Link 2
</div>
Naturally I can use the following code to get the first "a" of the class "masterclass"
$('.masterclass a:first').click(function() {
alert('yayfirstlink');
});
However I do not understand how to get the first link of every "masterclass"
You need to use find() here because your selector will find all the anchor elements with in .masterclass then filter only the very first one. But when you use .find(), it will find all the .masterclass elements first then will find the first anchor element in each of them.
$('.masterclass').find('a:first').click(function() {
alert('yayfirstlink');
});
or if you are sure that the target element will be the first child of its parent then you can use :first-child
$('.masterclass a:first-child').click(function() {
alert('yayfirstlink');
});
Try this,
var oFirstAnchor = $(".masterclass a:first-child");
$(".masterclass a:first-child") is what you are looking for.
so:
$('.masterclass a:first-child').click(function() {
alert('yayfirstlink');
});
This is how u loop through each of the masterclass and get the first link of it.
i don't know what you want to do with it though so i can only provide this
$(document).ready(function(){
var fields = $('.masterclass a:first-child');
$.each(fields, function(index, val){
alert(index);
});
});
this alerts the current links array index

I would recommend using the first of type selector for this.
$('.masterclass a:first-of-type')
This way it will always select the first anchor tag in each masterclass div even if you put other things in the div later.

Scroll multiple div at the same time

I'm trying to scroll multiple div at the same time. when i scroll in one div, i would like to report the scroll in all div.
I create the div dynamically. So i use the function document.getElementsByClassName sub-category-container to get all my elements. And i try to get the current scroll of the current div to defer the value.
I can not get it to work through the class names.
Do you have a solution?
Here is an example of what I try to do :
JSFiddle
As you are using jQuery already Use class selector. Try this:
var subCatContainer = $(".sub-category-container");
subCatContainer.scroll(function() {
subCatContainer.scrollLeft($(this).scrollLeft());
});
DEMO
Based on your JSFiddle,
$(".sub-category-container").scroll(function() {
for(var i in subCatContainer)
$(subCatContainer[i]).scrollLeft($(this).scrollLeft());
});

using $(this) jquery to change another element

So, I know how to change an attribute for the same element you hover over...
$(".click2play").mouseover(function()
{
$(this).css({'visibility' : 'hidden'});
});
question Can I do the same thing but to affect another element only within the same 'click2play' div that was hovered?
maybe like?
$(".click2play").mouseover(function()
{
$(this).(#someotherdiv).css({'visibility' : 'hidden'});
});
Thanks everyone!
This code targets a div, within the current .click2play element. I believe that's what you were asking for :)
$(".click2play").mouseover(function() {
$('div.class_name', this).css({'visibility' : 'hidden'});
});
not very clear from the ques what you wanna do so ill ans for all the options i can guess of
1.if you wanna hide all the elements of class .click2Play then use
$('.click2Play').hover(function(){$('.click2play').hide()});
2.if you want to just hide the current element of all the elements having this class use
$('.click2Play').hover(function(){$(this).hide()});
3.if you wanna generalize it then you can use.selector property of the jquery object so that you would be able to use it like
$('.click2Play').hover(function(){$($(this).selector).hide()});
so now if you will change the class name from .click2Play to some other class it will work nicely and will hide all the elements of that class.
4. if you want to hide some element inside that of current element then
$('.click2Play').hover(function(){$(this).children('selector_of_child').hide()});
5.if all the elements of this class have an element inside them having some other class and you wanna hide them all then simple use each like this
$('.click2Play').hover(function(){$('.click2play').each(function(){$(this).children("selector_Of_Child").hide()})});
I would do like this:
$(".click2play").mouseover(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
But maybe it isn't what you want to do?
I suppose this :):
$(".click2play").mouseover(function(){
$(this).css({'visibility' : 'hidden'});
});
or better
$(".click2play").mouseover(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
You want to change some other div? Why would you need $(this)?
$(".click2play").mouseover(function(){
$("#someotherdiv").hide();
});
To change a single css attribute you can do:
$(".click2play").mouseover(function(){
$(this).css('visibility', 'hidden');
});
I hope it helps
(consider to see this link: http://marakana.com/bookshelf/jquery_tutorial/css_styling.html )
I believe most of the answers didn't payed attention to the question, which asks about removing a class. Here is the answer to both questions:
$('.click2play').bind('mouseenter mouseleave', function () {
$(this).removeClass('click2play'); // This line removes the current object's class click2play
$('jQUerySelector').removeClass('click2play'); // This will remove another element's class click2play
});
