check ul having li with specific class, jQuery - javascript

I am trying to check ul or li elements whether have specific class every 5 seconds as folllows, but i am not getting result.
window.setInterval(function(){
var a = $('ul li .current_page_item a').text();
alert(a);
}, 5000);
how to do it ??

Remove the space between class selector and li otherwise, it may search for element with that class inside li.
window.setInterval(function(){
var a = $('ul li.current_page_item a').text();
// -------------^-------- here
alert(a);
}, 5000);

Hide div if the ul is empty

Here is my html,
<div id="personaldetails">
<ul>
<li class="clear"></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class="clear"></li>
</ul>
</div>
I want to hide div personaldetails when all the ul inside in div is empty.
If the ul is having element <li class="clear"></li> then the ul is considered as to be empty.
How to do this using Jquery ?
You can try this:
$('#personaldetails').find('ul').each(function(){
var txt = $("li", this).text();
if(txt.length <= 0){
$(this).hide();
}
});
if(!$('#personaldetails').find('ul:visible').length){
$('#personaldetails').hide();
}
Updated Fiddle
And to me you should hide all ul, if no ul are visible then you can hide the #personaldetails div.
Even one of answer is already accepted, I think it can be simple as:
if($.trim($("#personaldetails").text()) == '') {
$("#personaldetails").hide();
}
:)
Take a look at that code:
function foo(){
var all_li_clear = true;
$("#personaldetails > ul > li").each(function(){
if(!$(this).hasClass("clear")){
all_li_clear = false;
break; // No need to continue now
}
});
if(all_li_clear){
$("#personaldetails").hide();
}
}
You can see a fiddle example there, just comment and discomment foo(); line.
Javascript solution:
This will only hide the div if all li have clear class
$(function() {
emptyLi = $('#personaldetails ul li').filter(function(){
/*if($(this).hasClass('clear')){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}*/
return $(this).hasClass('clear');
}).length;
if($('#personaldetails ul li').length == emptyLi){
$('#personaldetails').css('display','none');
}
});
CSS:
This will hide the li with class clear, so if you not fixed height of ul or li and don't have padding , margin given to ul,li your div personaldetails will get hidden automatically when all li element have class clear
#personaldetails ul li.clear{
display:none;
}
-UPDATED-
You can use following code if you are deciding empty class based on clear class.
if($("#personaldetails ul li:not(.clear)").length == 0) {
$("#personaldetails").hide();
}
Or if you are looking for the empty div then you can just use the shortest code given by #Samiul Amin Shanto Like:
if($.trim($("#personaldetails").text()) == '') {
$("#personaldetails").hide();
}
Explanations
Method1:
$("#personaldetails ul li:not(.clear)")
This code find all li without the clear class. Then if no such li found, just hide the div. Fiddle
Method2:
$("#personaldetails").text() this code return innerHTML text striping all html tags. So no meter what the div contain ul, li or anything else, this will return the plain text content of the div, then striping any white space we can determine if the div is empty. If your intention is to hide the empty div not hiding the div which contain empty Ul this should be your choice.
This asumes that if you have the same amount of li's with the class clear, as there are ul's, they're all empty
var $wrapper = $('#personaldetails');
if( $wrapper.find('ul').length=== $wrapper.find('li.clear').length){
$wrapper .hide();
}
Everybody's fiddling examples :)
$(function($) {
$cnt = 0;
$('.personalDetails ul li').each(function() {
if($(this).hasClass('clear')) $cnt++;
});
if($('.personalDetails ul li').length == $cnt) $('.personalDetails').hide();
});
$("ul li:empty").closest('div#personaldetails').hide();
Sample Code
#personaldetails ul li.clear{
visibility:hidden;
}

jQuery selecting top level element text

I have a menu that has the section Store this has a submenu of categories Printers Keyboards and under these categories they have their own sub categories.
What I am trying to do is select the top level categories that are Printers Keyboards just using jQuery into an Array.
When I use the following it prints out ["Printers", "Color", "Black/White", "Dual", "Keyboards", "Wired", "Wireless", "Touchscreen"] This is more than I need for now, could someone help me
Check out my jsFiddle
jQuery
var optionTexts = [];
$('.main-menu ul li a:contains("Store")').parent().find('.sub-menu > li a').each(function(){
optionTexts.push($(this).text());
});
console.log(optionTexts);
EDIT I looked at your fiddle a bit more closeley and changed the way the right "a" tag is found:
'.sub-menu > li > ul > li > a' will do it (I checked it in your jsfiddle):
$('.main-menu ul li a:contains("Store")').parent().find('.sub-menu > li > ul > li > a').each(function(){
optionTexts.push($(this).text());
});
The way you did it, every a underneath the "ul.sub-menu" is selected - also those that are nested in children and grandchildren of "ul.sub-menu".
Hope you are looking for something like this
var optionTexts = [];
$('.main-menu ul li a:contains("Store")').parent().find('.sub-menu').parent('li').each(function(){
optionTexts.push($(this).children('a').text());
});
console.log(optionTexts);
I Edit your code like this, its worked :
$(function () {
$(".check").on('click', function () {
var optionTexts = [];
$('.list > ul > li > a').each(function () {
optionTexts.push($(this).text());
});
c(optionTexts);
});
});
output : Printers, Keyboards

target single element when it is not possible to use $(this)

function modalClosed(){
$("div#tab" + tabId).find('ul')
.prepend("<li>item</li>")
.hide()
.fadeIn('slow');
}
I want the list (<li>) to be prepended and have fade in effect one by one, unfortunately I have no way of using $(this), the above code doesn't work well, it apply effect on all of the <li>.
That's because .prepend() returns the ul element not the appended li element, so you are hiding/showing the ul element. You can reverse the logic using prependTo() method, now .hide() and .fadeIn() are applied to the appended element not the ul element.
$("<li>item</li>").hide()
.prependTo("#tab"+tabId+" ul")
.fadeIn('slow');
http://jsfiddle.net/5yj7v/
function modalClosed(num) {
$("div#tab" + tabId).find('ul')
.prepend("<li>item</li>")
.hide()
.fadeIn('slow', function() {
// callback function, called when fadeIn has finished
if(num > 1) {
modalClosed(num - 1);
}
});
}
From what I understand You want fade in effect one by one on all li items. If that is correct then try the following:
var time=1000;
$("div#tab"+tabId+" ul").prepend("<li>item</li>");
$("div#tab"+tabId+" ul li").each(function() {
$(this).hide();
$(this).fadeIn(time);
time+= 800;
});

make parent menu item bold when visiting child page

I have the following code which gives the menu item a class of 'current'. I then style that with font-weight:Bold;
$(document).ready(function () {
var loc = window.location.href;
$("ul a").each(function() {
if (loc.indexOf($(this).attr("href")) != -1) {
$(this).addClass("current");
}
});
});
If the user is on a page which is within the sub menu ul li a how do i add a class called Bold to the parent UL/LI at the root level?
here is the structure, if i am on Q&Z Group then About us needs to be bold. - http://jsfiddle.net/zZQy3/
var loc = window.location.href;
$("ul a").each(function() {
if (loc.indexOf($(this).attr("href")) != -1) {
$(this).addClass("current");
$(this).parent('li').parent('ul').addClass("Bold");
}
});
You are looking for the parent:
$(this).parent("li").parent("li").addClass("bold");
Note there are two parents above - this is because your a element is within an li, which is not what you want bold. You want the li parent of THAT to be bold.
if you have the current node as a jquery variable, you can access its parent by using parent. So, you could use $(this).parent().addClass(...);
If you wanted to, rather than using javascript for this logic, you could use the selector:
$('ul li:has(a[href=' + window.location.href + '])').addclass(...);
This is looking for any LI that has a descendant with an href matching the current url by way of the Has and Attribute Equals selectors.

How to reference this CSS in Javascript?

i have the following CSS for a mouse hover event. Im not sure how to refer to the #tabs ul li a:hover from within the Javascript?
#tabs ul li a:hover
{
color: #000;
font-weight:bold;
background-color: #0ff;
}
and i wish to swap the background color line for this Javascript code:
<script type="text/javascript">
hex=255;
function fadetext(){
if(hex>0) {
hex-=11;
document.getElementById("#tabs ul li a:hover").style.color="rgb("+hex+","+hex+","+hex+")";
setTimeout("fadetext()",50);
}
else
hex=255;
}
</script>
This:
document.getElementById("#tabs ul li a:hover")
isn't valid syntax, you only need to specify the id there:
document.getElementById("tabs")
You can change the style of an element on hover something like this:
var elem = document.getElementById("id");
elem.onmouseover = function(){
// your code
};
Let's suppose you have assigned the id myid to your link, you can do the stuff for that like this:
var elem = document.getElementById("myid");
elem.onmouseover = function(){
elem.style.backgroundColor = 'color value';
elem.style.color = 'color value';
};
Update:
Since in your code you are using loadit(this) in onclick event, you don't need to use document.getElementById because element is already referenced with this keyword, also you may want to use the onmouseover event instead of click event if you want to something to happen when element is hovered like:
<li><a href="tab-frame-workexperience.html" target="mainFrame" onmouseover="loadit(this)" >Work experience</a></li>
and then your function should look like this:
function loadit(elem)
{
elem.style.color = 'color value';
}
and/or you can create the two functions for two events if you want.
Note also that you can use jQuery to do it easily and in unobstrusive fashion with hover method:
$(function(){
$('#tabs ul li a').hover(function(){
$(this).css('color', '#ff0000'); // this fires when mouse enters element
}, function(){
$(this).css('color', '#000'); // this fires when mouse leaves element
}
);
});
Do you mean like this? This didn't work...
#tabs ul li a:hover
{
color: #000;
font-weight:bold;
<script type="text/javascript">
hex=255;
var elem = document.getElementById("tabs");
elem.onmousehover = function fadetext(){
if(hex>0) {
hex-=11;
elem.style.color="rgb("+hex+","+hex+","+hex+")";
setTimeout("fadetext()",50);
}
else
hex=255;
}
</script>
}
One solution is to edit your stylesheet instead of changing the style of every element, this can be done with a simple one-liner:
document.styleSheets[0].insertRule("#tabs ul li a:hover{rgb(255, 255, 255);}", 0);
Where the second argument specifies that the rule should be inserted first in the stylesheet.
For IE this is done with the addRule function instead:
document.styleSheets[0].addRule("#tabs ul li a:hover", "rgb(255, 255, 255)");
Update:
In your case, it would mean replacing this row:
document.getElementById("#tabs ul li a:hover").style.color="rgb("+hex+","+hex+","+hex+")";
with
var ss = document.styleSheets[0]; //gets the first external stylesheet in your document
if(ss.insertRule) //checks browser compatibility
ss.insertRule("#tabs ul li a:hover{rgb("+ hex + ", " + hex + ", " + hex + ");}", 0);
else
ss.addRule("#tabs ul li a:hover", "rgb("+ hex + ", " + hex + ", " + hex + ")");
