How to detach and append to relevant div only jQuery

I am trying to detach the div from the relevant parent and then append to the same parent div.
//Jquery Code
jQuery(function(){
moveColorDots();
});
function moveColorDots(){
var copyDivData = jQuery('.variations_form.wvs-archive-variation-wrapper').detach();
copyDivData.appendTo('.product-variations');
}
<div class="pp-content-post">
<div class="variations_form wvs-archive-variation-wrapper">
some data here
</div>
<div class="product-box">
<div class="glasses-sec">
<h3>title</h3>
</div>
<div class="product-variations"></div>
</div>
</div>
Expected result.
But after running the above code I am getting the following result.

.detach Description: Remove the set of matched elements from the DOM.
That means you append all the detached elements to every product-variations element ..So
You need to loop through the variations_form.wvs-archive-variation-wrapper elements by using .each()
Also you can use .appendTo() directly
//Jquery Code
jQuery(function(){
moveColorDots();
});
function moveColorDots(){
jQuery('.variations_form.wvs-archive-variation-wrapper').each(function(){
var product_variations = jQuery(this).next('div').find('.product-variations');
jQuery(this).appendTo(product_variations);
});
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="pp-content-post">
<div class="variations_form wvs-archive-variation-wrapper">
some data here 1
</div>
<div class="product-box">
<div class="glasses-sec">
<h3>title</h3>
</div>
<div class="product-variations"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="pp-content-post">
<div class="variations_form wvs-archive-variation-wrapper">
some data here 2
</div>
<div class="product-box">
<div class="glasses-sec">
<h3>title</h3>
</div>
<div class="product-variations"></div>
</div>
</div>
Note: This line of code var product_variations = jQuery(this).next('div').find('.product-variations'); is depending on your html structure it works for the posted html here .. But if you've another html structure you need to modify it to catch the desired element

how do I select an element from a list based on a child value of it's grandparent

this is the object I'm trying to select: $x('//div[contains(#class,"react-select__value-container")]')
** There are 10 of these **
this is the grandparent object: $x('//div[#class="chart-option"]/label[.="Layer"]/..') ** There is only one of these **
the parent is a simple //div[contains(#class, "react-select")]
So the code looks like this:
<div class="chart-option">
<label>Layer</label>
<div class="react-select css-2b097c-container">
<div class="react-select__value-container css-1hwfws3">
So I need the "value-container" who's grandparent has the child /label[.="Layer"]
But I can't for the life of me get the ordering right and relative syntax to get it. Is there a good tutorial for this? Any help is appreciated.

Try this xpath:
//div[#class="chart-option"][label="Layer"]/div[div[contains(#class,"react-select__value-container")]]
Explanation
//div[#class="chart-option"][label="Layer"]
Looking anywhere in the document, select div tags such that (1) the class is chart-option and (2) there is a child tag called label with the value Layer.
/div[div[contains(#class,"react-select__value-container")]]
Looking at each node in the previous result set above, select all child div tags such that that child div tag itself has a div tag that matches the class pattern you have given. (In other words, match based on the grandchild's class, but ultimately select the child div tag.)
Test Cases
Here are some more test cases that I used. You can test using an online xpath testing tool.
<div>
<div class="chart-option">
<label>nope</label>
<div class="react-select css-WRONG-container">
<div class="react-select__value-container css-WRONG">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="chart-option">
<label>Layer</label>
<div class="react-select css-CORRECT-container">
<div class="react-select__value-container css-CORRECT">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="chart-option">
<label>Not Layer</label>
<div class="react-select css-WRONG-container">
<div class="react-select__value-container css-WRONG">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<label>Layer</label>
<div class="react-select css-WRONG-container">
<div class="react-select__value-container css-WRONG">
</div>
</div>
<div class="chart-option">
<label>Layer</label>

How to get the attribute value of the closest element

Here i have HTML structure and the same structure may repeat number of times with the same class names. what i'm trying to do is once i click on the .innerDiv i should be able to access the attr value of the .inid close to its parent element.
here is what i have tried, but its not working. i also tried adding the classname to the element i'm trying to get the value from. but its adding the class to all the element with .inid. how can i do this?
HTML
<div class="parent_div">
<div class="content-container">
<div class="second-most-innerdiv>
<div class="container-box">
<div class="innerDiv">Click here</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="inid" data-attr="jkoadoas-Kjksjfks_skaj"></div>
</div>
<div class="parent_div">
<div class="content-container">
<div class="second-most-innerdiv>
<div class="container-box">
<div class="innerDiv">Click here</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="inid" data-attr="jkoadoas-Kjksjfks_skaj"></div>
</div>
Jquery
$(this).on('click',function(){
$('.innerDiv').parents().find('.inid').addClass('testclass');
$('.innerDiv').parents().find('.inid').attr(data-attr);
});

To achieve expected result, use index of innerDiv and add class-testclass to element with class- inid
Find index of clicked innerDiv using index('.innerDiv)
Use that index to add class using eq
Add some sample css to testclass for testing
Syntax error in your code - closing quotes missing for class- second-most-innerdiv
Codepen - https://codepen.io/nagasai/pen/
working example
$('.innerDiv').on('click',function(){
$('.inid').eq($(this).index('.innerDiv')).addClass('testclass');
console.log($('.inid').eq($(this).index('.innerDiv')).attr('data-attr'))
});
.testclass{
background: red;
height: 10px;
width:10px
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="parent_div">
<div class="content-container">
<div class="second-most-innerdiv">
<div class="container-box">
<div class="innerDiv">Click here</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="inid" data-attr="jkoadoas-Kjksjfks_skaj"></div>
</div>
<div class="parent_div">
<div class="content-container">
<div class="second-most-innerdiv>
<div class="container-box">
<div class="innerDiv">Click here</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="inid" data-attr="jkoadoas-Kjksjfks_skaj"></div>
</div>

Using JQuery closest() feature to find the parent div, then find the element with class "inid" within that parent element and get the value of the attribute.
$('.innerDiv').on('click',function(){
var inid = $(this).closest('.parent_div').find('.inid');
inid.addClass('testclass');
console.log('selected -> ' + inid.attr(data-attr));
});

if one item is clicked, remove the other items?

I'm learning Javascript and jQuery and I'm stuck at this one problem. Let's say my code looks like this:
<div id="hey"> hey </div>
<div id="how"> how </div>
<div id="are"> are </div>
<div id="you"> you </div>
Now, if i click one of the div's, i want the other ones to disappear.
I know, I could create 4 functions for each one of them with on.click hey and display none with how , are and you. But is there a easier way? I bet there is, with classes maybe?
Thanks for responding!

Use siblings to get reference to its "brothers".
Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .siblings() method allows us to search through the siblings of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements.
$('div').click(function(){
$(this).siblings().hide();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="hey"> hey </div>
<div id="how"> how </div>
<div id="are"> are </div>
<div id="you"> you </div>
Or you can hide all the other div which not the clicked element using not
Remove elements from the set of matched elements.
$('div').click(function() {
$('div').not(this).hide();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="hey"> hey </div>
<div id="how"> how </div>
<div id="are"> are </div>
<div id="you"> you </div>

You can just hide siblings() of clicked div.
$('div').click(function() {
$(this).siblings().fadeOut()
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="hey">hey</div>
<div id="how">how</div>
<div id="are">are</div>
<div id="you">you</div>

Yeah there are some easier ways and I could tell a one from it,
Set a common class to all the elements that you are gonna target,
<div class="clickable" id="hey"> hey </div>
<div class="clickable" id="how"> how </div>
<div class="clickable" id="are"> are </div>
<div class="clickable" id="you"> you </div>
And you have to bind a single click event by using a class selector,
$(".clickable").on("click", function(){ });
Now use the .siblings() functions to hide the required elements,
$(".clickable").on("click", function(){
$(this).siblings(".clickable").hide();
});
But using a toggle instead of hide would sounds logical,
$(".clickable").on("click", function(){
$(this).siblings(".clickable").toggle();
});
Since you can do the same operation over all the elements.

You can use not to avoid element and this will indicate current instance.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("div").on("click",function(){
$("div").not(this).hide("slow");
})
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="hey"> hey </div>
<div id="how"> how </div>
<div id="are"> are </div>
<div id="you"> you </div>

Assign a class to each of the elements:
<div id="hey" class='sth'> hey </div>
<div id="how" class='sth'> how </div>
<div id="are" class='sth'> are </div>
<div id="you"class='sth' > you </div>
And write a js function onclick.
Remove class 'sth' from 'this' element in this function
Hide all elements with class 'sth' $('.sth').hide();

For this example - you don't need to add any further selectors to target the div's although in reality - this solution wwould cause all divs on the page to be affectecd - adding classes would be my actual suggestion: - but this works for this example. Click a div and all divs are hidden then the clicked one is shown. I also added a reset button to allow all divs to reappear.
$('div').click(function(){
$('div').hide();
$(this).show();
});
$('#reset').click(function(){
$('div').show();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="hey"> hey </div>
<div id="how"> how </div>
<div id="are"> are </div>
<div id="you"> you </div>
<hr/>
<button type="button" id="reset">Reset</button>

$(document).ready(function(){
$("div").on("click",function(){
$("div").not(this).toggle("slow");
})
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="hey"> hey </div>
<div id="how"> how </div>
<div id="are"> are </div>
<div id="you"> you </div>

Javascript click specific to ID

I have a div setup like so:
<div class="content">
<button class="show-comments" id="content1"></button>
</div>
<div class="comments-wrapper" id="comment1"></div>
<div class="content">
<button class="show-comments" id="content2"></button>
</div>
<div class="comments-wrapper" id="comment2"></div>
I have the following code:
$('.show-comments').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('.comments-wrapper').slideToggle('slow');
});
As you would assume, the code works but on a class basis. I'd like for it to open up only the .comments-wrapper of its associated id (i.e. open slideToggle comments2 if content 2 button is clicked and so on and so on).
How would I do this?

$('.show-comments').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest(".content").next('.comments-wrapper').slideToggle('slow');
});
Note that this is dependent on the .content element being immediately followed by the .comments-wrapper.
If you have access to modify the html itself, I would suggest adding a wrapper element and then doing the following to avoid the reliance on the exact order of elements:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="content">
<button class="show-comments" id="content1"></button>
</div>
<div class="comments-wrapper" id="comment1"></div>
</div>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="content">
<button class="show-comments" id="content2"></button>
</div>
<div class="comments-wrapper" id="comment2"></div>
</div>
$(this).closest(".wrapper").find('.comments-wrapper').slideToggle('slow');
This way, if you add an element between the .content and the .comments-wrapper it does not break the code.

You can do this:
$(this).parent("div").next('.comments-wrapper').slideToggle('slow');
This will find the related div of class .comments-wrapper and slide toggle.
And a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/xCJQB/

$('.show-comments').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var num = this.id.match(/\d+$/)[0];
$("#comment" + num).slideToggle('slow');
});
Demo ---> http://jsfiddle.net/7pkyk/1/

Use this context
$(this).closest('.comments').next('.comments-wrapper').slideToggle('slow');
If it is not the immediate element then you might try this as well
$(this).closest('.comments')
.nextAll('.comments-wrapper').first().slideToggle('slow');

you can add a common class to associate a button with a div.
html:
<div class="content">
<button class="show-comments group1" id="content1"></button>
</div>
<div class="comments-wrapper group1" id="comment1">1</div>
<div class="content">
<button class="show-comments group2" id="content2"></button>
</div>
<div class="comments-wrapper group2" id="comment2">2</div>
javascript:
$('.show-comments').click(function(e){
var associate = $(this).attr('class').match(/group\d+/).pop();
var selector = '.comments-wrapper.' + associate;
e.preventDefault();
$(selector).slideToggle('slow');
});
