I am struggling with jquery a little. I have an unordered list that looks like this.
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Test</li>
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Archive</li>
<ul>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld.docx</div>
<div class="size">11.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-12 09:31:34</div>
</li>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld1.docx</div>
<div class="size">12.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-11 09:31:34</div>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
Which looks like this
Folder: Test
Folder : Archive
HelloWorld.docx
11.79kiB
2021-01-12 09:31:34
HelloWorld1.docx
12.79kiB
2021-01-11 09:31:34
When I click on any of the li's with the class of "file" I want to look back and work out what the path structure is by finding the parent li's that have the class "folder".
I have tried various combinations but cannot get it
This is what I am working with at the moment
$(document.body).on('click',"li.file",function (e) {
console.log("clicked");
$(this).parents("li.folder").each(function() {
console.log($(this).text());
});
});
Ultimately i want to get back a full path with the parent folder and the filename in a variable.
e.g. pathtofile = /Test/Archive/HelloWorld.docx
Here is a jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/e5d7bcyz/
Thanks
Before approaching your question you first need to correct the HTML. ul elements cannot be children of other ul elements. You need to wrap the ul within their associated li.
You will also need to wrap the folder names in another element, such as a span, in order for the text to be easily retrievable. This would be possible with your current HTML by trawling through text nodes, however that is messy code to write and very brittle. A simple HTML change is the best approach there.
Finally, you can loop through the parent li elements of the clicked .file and reverse their order to get the path in the right format. From there you can append the filename of the selected file. Try this:
$.fn.reverse = [].reverse;
$(document).on('click', "li.file", function(e) {
let $file = $(this);
let $path = $file.parent().parents('li').reverse();
let path = $path.map((i, el) => $(el).children('span').text().trim()).get();
path.push($file.children('.filename').text().trim());
console.log(path.join('/'));
});

<ul>
<li class="folder">
<span>Test</span>
<ul>
<li class="folder">
<span>Archive</span>
<ul>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld.docs</div>
<div class="size">11.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-12 09:31:34</div>
</li>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld1.docs</div>
<div class="size">12.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-11 09:31:34</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Well, the LI you're looking for are not really the parents as they're not wrapping the current li.file element.
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Archive</li> // You close the LI tag. So it's not a parent of the rest of the code.
<ul>
<li class="file">
Try to wrap the rest of the code with the LI tag:
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Test
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Archive
<ul>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld.docx</div>
<div class="size">11.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-12 09:31:34</div>
</li>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld1.docx</div>
<div class="size">12.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-11 09:31:34</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li> //closing the second parent: Folder: Archive
</ul>
</li> //closing the first parent: Folder: test
</ul>
As far as I know it's valid HTML code.
And then those li.folder elements would be actually parents.

I have weird structure and want to disabled first element inside li.expanded using a[href="/abc"]. I have parent and child have same href and title is different. How can I select parent only element?
Here the code:
<ul class="n-right m-menu__link-list" id="main-right-menu">
<li class="first leaf">xyz-parent</li>
<li class="leaf">pqr</li>
<li class="last expanded">abc //want to find this element and apply treatment
<ul class="n-right m-menu__link-list" id="main-right-menu">
<li class="first leaf">abc</li> //not this one
<li class="last leaf">mno</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
What I have tried, the function is working. it's selecting both a[href="/abc"] parent and child. I want to find and select only parent one.
openabcInNav: function() {
var navEl = $('#main-menu, #main-right-menu li.expanded').find('a[href="/abc"]:nth-child(1)');
navEl.addClass('doNotClose');
navEl.on('click mouseover', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$('nav.global-nav').find('li.expanded').toggleClass('show');
});
},
You could use the :first selector that will return the first occurrence what it the parent :
$('ul>li.expanded>a[href="/abc"]:first')
$('ul>li.expanded>a[href="/abc"]:first').css('background-color', 'green');
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="n-right m-menu__link-list" id="main-right-menu">
<li class="first leaf">xyz-parent</li>
<li class="leaf">pqr</li>
<li class="last expanded">abc //want to find this element and apply treatment
<ul class="n-right m-menu__link-list" id="main-right-menu">
<li class="first leaf">abc</li> //not this one
<li class="last leaf">mno</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
a[href="/abc"]:nth-child(1) looks at first child object inside a[href="/abc"]
Try using:
a[href="/abc"]:nth-of-type(1)
This will return the first that matches a[href="/abc"]
Let's say that I have a nested <ul> that looks like this:
<ul>
<ul class="pizzatype">
<h1>Margherita</h1>
<li class="ingredient">Tomato sauce</li>
<li class="ingredient">Mozzarella</li>
<li class="ingredient">Origano</li>
</ul>
<ul class="pizzatype">
<h1>Spicy salamino</h1>
<li class="ingredient">Tomato sauce</li>
<li class="ingredient">Mozzarella</li>
<li class="ingredient">Salamino</li>
</ul>
<ul class="pizzatype">
<h1>Onion n' Tuna</h1>
<li class="ingredient">Tomato sauce</li>
<li class="ingredient">Mozzarella</li>
<li class="ingredient">Tuna</li>
<li class="ingredient">Onion</li>
</ul>
</ul>
And a script that console.log the childrens of class "pizzatype":
var pizzatype = document.querySelectorAll('.pizzatype');
console.log(pizzatype[1].children[3]);
The console.log at children[3] returns: <li class="ingredient">Salamino</li>
But I'm looking for a parameter that returns just Salamino
Anyone can help?
Also, is there any reference site that I can consult to find out which parameters can be asked, starting from the children function? Like children.text, children.value etc
Use textContent to get the text of an element
console.log(pizzatype[1].children[3].textContent);
What you're currently doing is pointing to the li element it's self. You need to target the text of this element.
You can do this by using .innerText. You can also use .innerHTML, which will return the text in raw format and won't automatically encode/decode text.
console.log(pizzatype[1].children[3].innerHTML);
I want to move some span elements to closest div. I found the solution to my problem but it does not work for me. I have some Html code:
<ul>
<li>
<a><span>Some info</span></a>
</li>
<div class="cl1">...</div>
<li>
<a><span>Some info 2</span><a>
</li>
<div class="cl1">
...
</div>
...
</ul>
and to move <span> like this:
$('span').each(function () {
$(this).parent().parent().closest('.cl1').append(this);
})
but nothing happened. Any help would certainly be appreciated
you can't put a div in a ul, only li's.
your html has to be valid (a's, ul need to be closed)
Closest searches anscetors, not siblings.
since your markup is not valid as is, i'm not sure if you want the divs in the list or not. This example removes them from the lis, which breaks the list into two lists.
$('button').click(function() {
$('span').each(function() {
var $div = $(this).closest('ul').siblings('.cl1');
$(this).clone().appendTo($div);
$(this).remove();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
<li>
<a><span>Some info</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="cl1">...</div>
<ul>
<li>
<a><span>Some info 2</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="cl1">...</div>
<button>Do Stuff</button>
I am trying to construct a jquery statement that will slideUp() all <ul> elements whose siblings don't contain a set of specific classes (.clicked, .chosen).
Suppose I have the following nested <ul> structure:
<ul class="mainmenu">
<li>Dogs</li>
<ul>
<li>Fido</li>
<li class="chosen">Barney</li>
<li>Turbo</li>
</ul>
<li>Cats</li>
<ul>
<li>Sylvester</li>
<li>Felix</li>
<li>Garfield</li>
</ul>
<li class="clicked">Hamsters</li>
<ul>
<li>Chubbs</li>
<li>Oreo</li>
<li>Ruby</li>
</ul>
</ul>
For the above example, I would like to slideUp() only the 'Cats' <ul> element ('Sylvester', 'Felix', 'Garfield') because none of it's elements use the 'chosen' or 'clicked' classes.
My current jquery statement reads:
$('.mainmenu').first().siblings().not('.clicked, .chosen').slideUp();
This, and everything else I have tried, returns nothing. Suggestions?
You HTML looks challenging :) but somehow, I've managed to create a query to perform what you're looking for.
And if you want to check multiple class for particular element you can use is() as well.
//Check li doesn't have clicked class and then filter ul next to the li
$('.mainmenu > li').not('.clicked').next('ul').filter(function(){
//Find the ul, if it's any of li doesn't have chosen class
if(!$(this).find('li').hasClass('chosen'))
{
return $(this);
}
}).slideUp();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="mainmenu">
<li>Dogs</li>
<ul>
<li>Fido</li>
<li class="chosen">Barney</li>
<li>Turbo</li>
</ul>
<li>Cats</li>
<ul>
<li>Sylvester</li>
<li>Felix</li>
<li>Garfield</li>
</ul>
<li class="clicked">Hamsters</li>
<ul>
<li>Chubbs</li>
<li>Oreo</li>
<li>Ruby</li>
</ul>
</ul>
I have one Activity xml file and I am try to get from activity when click on activity there child display. Its look like end of the all click.
<ul id="firstLevelChild">
<ul id="ul">
<li id="4">Activities
<ul class="ul">
<li id="10066">Physical1
<ul class="ul">
<li id="10067">Cricket
<ul class="ul">
<li id="10068">One Day</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
Now I want that if li have no leaf node then its display in other another div. Something like:
Click on Acitivities there have child node Physical1 and there also child Cricket and there chil One Day now one day have no child when click on one day its display in my <div id="result"></div>
I would add this as a comment, but I don't have enough rep. ChildNodes() isn't a function - since it looks like you're using jQuery, try children() instead.
I think javascript could helpr you there. A part from the fact that you first build your DOM correct ;)
The hasChildNodes() method returns TRUE if the current element node has child nodes, and FALSE otherwise.
http://www.w3schools.com/dom/met_element_haschildnodes.asp
Assuming the markup you provided is how it's going to be always i.e. ul as child for all li. You just check if ul exists inside the current li. See fiddle
