How to duplicate a div in JavaScript
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
What is a good equivalent for the jQuery .clone() function in regular DOM JavaScript? I performed multiple searches (on both SO and Bing) and didn't find a specific answer. I need to produce a copy of an element and all of its internal elements. The clone must have all of the elements and content of the source elements. If possible, make the solution as compact or efficient as possible.
try this
var clonedElement = document.getElementById('id').cloneNode(true)
var element= document.getElementById("myid");
var clone= element.cloneNode(true);

How can I change an element's class with JavaScript?
(33 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I dynamically created various images and other elements within various div elements and assigned a class to them, like:
divOM = document.getElementById('omain');
kd = document.createElement('img');
kd.src = 'pics/k0.jpg';
kd.class = 'mww';
divOM.appendChild(kd);
This works well – the debugger shows the desired result (# children with class ‘mww’). I have the (maybe naïve) hope that
wlist = document.getElementsByClassName('mww')
gives me all elements which have class=’mww’, but unfortunately it doesn’t. The debugger shows length:0 for wlist!?? Is it possible that document.getElementsByClassName doesn’t work for dynamically created elements?
Should be .className, not .class.
class is a reserved word in JavaScript.
Or use the Class List API:
kd.classList.add('mww');

Why does jQuery or a DOM method such as getElementById not find the element?
(6 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have the following piece of code in my javascript file(helper.js):
var a = $('li')
$(window).keydown(function(e) {
\\whatever
})
it is supposed to select all tags in my html file and store in in a, however when I use this code, it a is null(which it shouldn't be). when I change my code to:
$(window).keydown(function(e) {
var a = $('li')
\\whatever
})
a is initialized correctly. Does anyone knows why? I am using jquery 3.3.1.
If you are dealing with the DOM (Document Object Model), use $(document).
If you are dealing with how user interact with the window, screen and so on, use $(window)

Combining selectors?
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I need to combine two jquery selectors into a single Jquery object.
I tried $("#selector","#selector"), but its not working and returning blank, do we have any predefined methods to achieve this.
Something like
var combined_Jquery_obj =$("#selector") +$("#selector")
Use add() method when you want to add elements to an existing jQuery object.
var combined_Jquery_obj = $("#selector1").add("#selector2")
Or use comma separated multiple selectors when you want to select multiple selectors.
var combined_Jquery_obj = $("#selector1,#selector2")
Use Multiple Selector
var combined_Jquery_obj =$("#selector,#selector")

Performance of jQuery selectors vs local variables
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have a strange question about jquery selector behavior.
First approach:
$('#div').find('#something').html('hahah');
$('#div').find('#something').html('hahah');
$('#div').show();
Second approach:
var $div = $('#div');
$div.find('#something').html('hahah');
$div.find('#something').html('hahah');
$div.show();
I know that it might not have too much difference, but is the second faster than the first?? I've always used the second approach but I'm not sure if there is a difference because I don't know how the jquery selector algorithm works.
The second way is faster/better because you have cached the selector.
Everytime you call $('selector'), the jQuery selector engine(sizzle) is called to locate your desired elements.
However, when you store them in a variable, you do not need to repeatedly call the selector engine as the results are stored.
Note, in your example above, caching can be further improved by storing the find() result as well
var $something = $('#div').find('#something');
$something.html('hahah');
$something.html('hahah');
$something.show();

Why does jQuery .after() not chain the new element?
This reference code:
$("#id").after(string);
Does a pretty good job inserting the element of the string where its need to.
How can I get a reference to newly inserted HTML element (string)?
var string = '<div id="some_HTML"><span>hello kitty</span></div>';
$jq_elem = $(string); //if it's not a jQuery object, make it one
$("#id").after($jq_elem); //insert into DOM
$jq_elem.css('color', 'red'); //still available
FIDDLE
Try using insertAfter:
var $str = $(string).insertAfter('#id');
This will work if string is HTML.
