jQuery + JSON - .each not retrieving unique values

This is my codepen: http://codepen.io/JTBennett/pen/OpEeBG
This is the jQuery in question:
$('.gvListing').each(function(){
var cntTxt = $('.dispCntry').text()
$(this).attr('data-country',cntTxt)
var valueC = $('.ddCountry:selected').val();
var valueR = $('.ddRegion:selected').val();
$('#testDiv').text(valueC)
});
(^this all happens at the bottom of the JS on the codepen link)
The issue looks like this:
So the data attribute is being filled up with every .dispCntry div's contents even though I'm doing this function in .each() .gvListing div. I have a feeling I'm missing something stupid, like the letter i somewhere - but I can't seem to get it right.

var cntText=$('.dispCntry').text();
will take every text of input that has .dispCntry class.
It does not concentrate on your .each() .gvListing div.
Either you have to use only one .dispCntry class input, or give unique class or id to each .dispCntry elements

get the html of element itself using jquery .html()

How to get the html of element itself using Jquery html. In the below code I would like get the input element inside div using JQuery as shwon below
<div id="content">content div</div>
<input type='text' id="scheduledDate" class="datetime" />
$(function() {
console.log($('#scheduledDate').html('dsadasdasd'));
$('#content').html($('#scheduledDate').html());
});
EDIT:
Can I get the $("#scheduledDate") as string which represent the real html code of the input box, because my final requirement is I want to pass it to some other SubView( I am using backboneJS) and eventually use that html code in a dust file.
My original requirement was to get that input field as string so that I can pass it to some other function. I know, if I keep it inside a DIV or some other container, I can get the html by using .html method of JQuery. I dont want use some other for that purpose. I am just trying to get html content of the input box itself using it's id.

If you want to move the input element into div, try this:
$('#content').append($('#scheduledDate'));
If you want to copy the input element into div, try this:
$('#content').append($('#scheduledDate').clone());
Note: after move or copy element, the event listener may need be registered again.

$(function() {
var content = $('#content');
var scheduledDate = $('#scheduledDate');
content.empty();
content.append(scheduledDate.clone());
});
As the original author has stated that they explicitly want the html of the input:
$(function() {
var scheduledDate = $('#scheduledDate').clone();
var temporaryElement = $('<div></div>');
var scheduleDateAsString = temporaryElement.append(scheduledDate).html();
// do what you want with the html such as log it
console.log(scheduleDateAsString);
// or store it back into #content
$('#content').empty().append(scheduleDateAsString);
});
Is how I would implement this. See below for a working example:
https://jsfiddle.net/wzy168xy/2/

A plain or pure JavaScript method, can do better...
scheduledDate.outerHTML //HTML5
or calling by
document.getElementById("scheduledDate").outerHTML //HTML4.01 -FF.
should do/return the same, e.g.:
>> '<input id="scheduledDate" type="text" value="" calss="datetime">'
if this, is what you are asking for
fiddle
p.s.: what do you mean by "calss" ? :-)

This can be done the following ways:
1.Input box moved to the div and the div content remains along with the added input
$(document).ready(function() {
var $inputBox = $("#scheduledDate");
$("#content").append($inputBox);
});
2.The div is replaced with the copy of the input box(as nnn pointed out)
$(document).ready(function() {
var $inputBox = $("#scheduledDate");
var $clonedInputBox = $("#scheduledDate").clone();
$("#content").html($clonedInputBox);
});
Div is replaced by the original input box
$(document).ready(function() {
var $inputBox = $("#scheduledDate");
$("#content").html($inputBox);
});
https://jsfiddle.net/atg5m6ym/4485/
EDIT 1:
to get the input html as string inside the div itself use this
$("#scheduledDate").prop('outerHTML')
This will give the input objects html as string
Check this js fiddle and tell if this is what you need

Access from change event to other input html jquery autocreate

My problem is:
I have a page with a table is auto generated with ajax-jquery
My table is 3 <td> 1: name 2-3: checkbox for parameters
I set event on all input:checkbox ("change") event.
The problem appears when i try to get check state of checkbox different than i click.
code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#permessiAttributiDiv").on("change", "input:checkbox", function() {
var IDPermesso = $(this).attr("id").substring(1);
var selezionatoSpuntato = (this.checked);
var altro = $(this).parent().find("input:checkbox").checked;
var scheda = $("#selectTipo").val();
});
)};
I also try to get check state by id but i always doesn't work......
I see if the checkbox is write in html static code all works ok but if i generate it with jquery i can't access to input with any selector.....
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

You must be getting error in console. See How to open the JavaScript console in different browsers?
The problem line which I see is
var altro = $(this).parent().find("input:checkbox").checked;
As $(this).parent().find("input:checkbox") will return you jQuery object and they don't have checked property.
You can use .not(this) to exclude the current element from the collection.
var altro = $(this).parent().find("input:checkbox").not(this).prop('checked');
OR
var altro = $(this).parent().find("input:checkbox").not(this).is(':checked');

change name of DIV width JavaScript

I am using following code:
...
<div id="divcontainer1">
...
<div id="divcontainer2">
...
</div>
</div>
...
Now, I want change "divcontainer2" at a later point of time in the Div "divcontainer3".
What is the right way to check is exist divcontainer2 and when true,
change in divcontainer2 width javascript ?
Thank you,
Hardy

It is probably not nest practice but you can do this by changing the .outterHTML of the element. You would likely want to improve on this but here is a quick example. The last line checks if div 2 exists.
var div2 = document.getElementById("div2");
var html = div2.outerHTML;
var idx = html.indexOf(">");
var newtag = html.substring(0, idx).replace("div2", "div3");
div2.outerHTML = newtag + html.substring(idx, html.length - 1);
var contents = document.getElementById("div3").innerHTML;
alert(document.getElementById("div2") != undefined);
All you do is
get the element .outterHTML
get the substring representing the tag.
Replace the text that defines it
Set the .outterHTML tag to our new string
Now you have a newly named div that keeps all of its attributes, position in the parent and content.
The alert line is how you check for the existence of an object.

I don't believe that there is a "proper" way to do this, however I would store the contents of divcontainer2 in a variable, and then do something like this
var containerOfDivContainer2 = document.getElementById("containerofdiv2");
containerOfDivContaier2.innerHTML = "<div id='divcontainer3'>"/* insert div contents */+"</div>";
Of course, this requires you to put divcontainer2 in a div called containerofdiv2 but it works.

If using jQuery, this will do it:
$('#divcontainer2').attr('id','divcontainer3');
But you shouldn't be changing IDs. Use classes instead and then use the jQuery's toggleClass() function, like:
<div id="divcontainer1">
...
<div id="divcontainer2" class="style1">
...
</div>
$('#divcontainer2').toggleClass("style1 style2");

How to change a label's contents using Javascript?

I have a label that holds a value and a text box into which I will enter a number. I have another label, which should dynamically give the difference between the two as I type the number in the text box. How do I do this using Javascript? I tried:
<script type="text/javascript">
function compute_diff(){
var lbl1 = document.getElementById("<%=label1.ClientID%>").value;
var txtbox = document.getElementById("<%=textbox1.ClientID%>").value;
var lbl2value = lbl1 - txtbox
document.getElementById("<%=label2.ClientID%>").innerText = lbl2value;
return true;
}
</script>
I am calling this function on the OnKeyUp event, but it is not firing it. What is the correct way of going about this? I am developing the site using ASP.Net.

The line
var lbl2value = lbl1 - txtbox
will not work. You will need to use a string diff algorithm such as the one at
http://ejohn.org/projects/javascript-diff-algorithm/
In addition, consider using jQuery to ensure that this works cross browser as the implementation of innerText can differ from browser to browser.
