remove parent div leaving its child div - javascript

I have child div inside its parent.
How to remove parent div leaving only its child untouched?
I don't use jQuery.
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">
</div>
</div>
to become
<div id="child"></div>

Get the element, get its parentNode, replace it with the child.
var child = document.getElementById('child');
child.parentNode.replaceWith(child);
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">
A
</div>
</div>
If you have support issues with replaceWith you can try the insertBefore approach.
var child = document.getElementById('child');
var parent = child.parentNode;
parent.parentNode.insertBefore(child, parent);
parent.parentNode.removeChild(parent);
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">
A
</div>
</div>

How to retrieve the div first child element sibling node using querySelector?

I have the DOM structure like below
<div class="table_body">
<div class="table_row">
<div class="table_cell">first</div>
<div class="table_cell">chocolate products</div><!-- want to access this div content -->
</div>
<div class="table_row">
<div class="table_cell">third</div>
<div class="table_cell">fourth</div>
</div>
</div>
From the above HTML I want to access the div content of second div with classname table_cell inside first table_row div.
So basically I want to retrieve the content of div with classname table_cell with content chocolate products.
I have tried to do it like below
const element = document.querySelector('.rdt_TableBody');
const element1 = element.querySelectorAll('.rdt_TableRow')[0]
const element2 = element1.querySelectorAll('.rdt_TableCell')[0].innerHTML;
When I log element2 value it gives some strange output and not the text "chocolate products"
Could someone help me how to fix this. Thanks.
You can use:
the :nth-of-type pseudo-selector
combined with the immediate-child selector (>)
Example:
const selectedDiv = document.querySelector('.table_body > div:nth-of-type(1) > div:nth-of-type(2)');
Working Example:
const selectedDiv = document.querySelector('.table_body > div:nth-of-type(1) > div:nth-of-type(2)');
selectedDiv.style.color = 'white';
selectedDiv.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
<div class="table_body">
<div class="table_row">
<div class="table_cell">first</div>
<div class="table_cell">chocolate products</div> //want to access this div content
</div>
<div class="table_row">
<div class="table_cell">third</div>
<div class="table_cell">fourth</div>
</div>
</div>
In your code
element1.querySelectorAll('.table_cell')[0], this is targeting the first element i.e., <div class="table_cell">first</div>. That's the reason why you are not getting the expected output.
I have made it to element1.querySelectorAll('.table_cell')[1], so that it'll target <div class="table_cell">chocolate products</div>.
const element = document.querySelector('.table_body');
const element1 = element.querySelectorAll('.table_row')[0]
const element2 = element1.querySelectorAll('.table_cell')[1].innerHTML;
console.log(element2);
<div class="table_body">
<div class="table_row">
<div class="table_cell">first</div>
<div class="table_cell">chocolate products</div>
</div>
<div class="table_row">
<div class="table_cell">third</div>
<div class="table_cell">fourth</div>
</div>
</div>
Since the element that you want to target is the last div with having class table_cell, you can use :last-of-type on table_cell class using document.querySelector. But otherwise you can also use :nth-of-type if there are more than 2 elements and you want to target any element in between first and last.
Below is the example using :last-of-type.
const elem = document.querySelector(".table_row > .table_cell:last-of-type");
console.log(elem?.innerHTML);
<div class="table_body">
<div class="table_row">
<div class="table_cell">first</div>
<div class="table_cell">chocolate products</div> //want to access this div content
</div>
<div class="table_row">
<div class="table_cell">third</div>
<div class="table_cell">fourth</div>
</div>
</div>
For more info you can refer :nth-of-type, :last-of-type and child combinator(>).

select content of div with DOM, but without child

there is HTML code:
<div id="parent">
<p>111111</p>
<div id="child">

but when use document.getElementById("child").textContent it return "22222" and "33333".
i dont want use jQuery, can anyone help me?
thanks
You can use querySelector(), more info here.
The Document method querySelector() returns the first Element within the document that matches the specified selector, or group of selectors. If no matches are found, null is returned.
var value = document.querySelector('#child p').textContent;
console.log(value);
<div id="parent">
<p>111111</p>
<div id="child">
<p>22222</p>
<div id="childer">
<p>33333</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can try using querySelector() which allows CSS like selector (#child p):
var elText = document.querySelector("#child p").textContent;
console.log(elText);
<div id="parent">
<p>111111</p>
<div id="child">
<p>22222</p>
<div id="childer">
<p>33333</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
const setup = () => {
const child = document.querySelector('#child');
const p = child.querySelector('p');
console.log(p.textContent);
};
//load
window.addEventListener('load', setup);
<html>
<body>
<div id="parent">
<p>111111</p>
<div id="child">
<p>22222</p>
<div id="childer">
<p>33333</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
document.getElementById("child").getElementsByTagName('p')[0].innerText;

Get Element that Parent not a class

I would like to return an element in javascript that does not have a class in its parent element.
For example, I would like to get the child class element in the following code snippet that does not have 'parent' as a class for the parent element:
<div>
<div class= "parent">
<div class="child">
Not to be selected
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="child">
To be selected
</div>
</div>
</div>
I tried to return it through xpath in protractor
You can use the :not selector .
console.log(document.querySelectorAll(':not(.parent) > .child'));
<div>
<div class= "parent">
<div class="child">
Not to be selected
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="child">
To be selected
</div>
</div>
</div>
There are a few ways to do this. Either you check if the class is there.
var elementList = [];
document.querySelectorAll("div.child").forEach(function(e) {
var parent = e.parentElement;
if(parent.classList == null || !parent.classList.contains("parent")) {
elementList.push(e);
}
})
console.log(elementList);
If the parent class is specific you can use the css :not attribute
var elementList = document.querySelectorAll("div:not(.parent) > div.child");
console.log(elementList);

Filter parent div with only one type of child

I need to search for divs with class 'test' that has only button type inside hid childs or child nodes. This is the HTML that I have to filter.
<div class="test">
<div>
<button> <span>Button 1</span></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="test">
<div>
<button> <span>Button 2</span></button>
<div>Div 1</div>
<div>Div 2</div>
<div>Div 3</div>
</div>
</div>
Based on this jQuery selector I've been testing on this fiddle but it returns me this error:
The div that I've been expecting to return is the first div.
So how can I reach it?
You can compare the length of child div elements and child div elements that have button elements in it:
var notButtonDivs = $('.test').filter(function(){
return $(this).find('div').length == $(this).find('div:has(button)').length
})
Working Demo
This one should do the trick.
var TestDivs = $(document).find(".test div button");
alert(TestDivs[0].innerHTML);

find children while moving upwards in dom

This can be sound little confusing but here it is.
What i want is to find the children(OF CLASS PARENT ) when user clicks on class target.
Important: I am not aware of children class & child inside html structure.Target class can be after 'blah' like in first case OR can be directly after children like in second case.
Information available: class "PARENt" and $(this) [class target]
Find: Children(ID) of class PARENT (you cannot use class .children)
<div class="parent">
<div class="children" id="1">
<div class="blah">
<div class="target">TARGET</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="children" id="2">
<div class="target">TARGET</div>
</div>
<div class="children" id="3">
<div class="blah">
<div class="target">TARGET</div>
</div>
</div>
Example:
Clicking Target 1 would produce: ID = 1
Clicking Target 2 would produce: ID = 2
Clicking Target 3 would produce: ID = 3
If you want to find only ONE ID use:
$('.target').click(function() {
var found = false;
var parent;
var previous;
while(!found) {
if (previous) {
parent = previous.parent();
} else {
parent = $(this).parent();
}
if (parent.hasClass('parent')) {
found = previous;
}
previous = parent;
}
console.log(found.attr('id'));
});
Demo.
To literally answer your question:
$(".parent *") will give you ALL of the children of .parent no matter how many layers deep
To practically answer your question:
Limit possible elements, classes, IDs, etc.
$(".parent div, .parent span, .parent .child ...etc")
You can also grab only the immediate children of an element or set of elements by using the > CSS selector:
$(".parent > *") for example, will give you ALL of the immediate children of .parent
In the context of your problem
$(".target").on("click", function () {
$(this).closest(".parent").children();
// OR
$(this).closest(".parent").find("*");
});
To get the specific ID Given your current DOM structure...
$(".target").on("click", function () {
var id = $(this).closest("[id]").attr("id");
console.log(id);
});
Use .parentsUntil() to get the set of all parents up to (but not including) .parent. Then get the last element of this to get the child of the parent.
$(".target").click(function() {
var child = $(this).parentsUntil(".parent").last();
console.log(child.attr('id'));
});
