I have some javascript/JQuery which allows me to create a new entry in an HTML ordered list. This works fine. But now I am trying to set each entry to have an id equal to a variable 'id''s value, so that I can identify an entry and remove its id from a javascript array.
I am being told that I can't use setAttribute OR defineProperty, so I don't know what to do! I am including both my attempts to demonstrate what I am trying to achieve:
var idList = []; //array of entry ids
$(function (){
$("#click-me").click(function (e){
e.preventDefault();
i++;
var list = $("#list"); //works fine
var name = $("#colleague-select option:selected").text(); //works fine
var id = $("#colleague-select").val(); //works fine
var remove = "<button type='button' class='remove-me'> X </button>"; //works fine
var entry = "<li>" + name + remove+ "</li>"; //works fine
//entry.setAttribute("id", id); //doesn't work
//or
Object.defineProperty(entry, 'id', {
get: function(){return id;},
set: function(value) {id = value;}
});
list.append(entry); //adds entry to HTML element 'list'
idList.push(id); //adds id to array which should be the same as entry's id
return false;
});
});
$(document).on('click', ".remove-me", function(){
var entry = $(this).parent();
entry.remove();
var id = entry.attr("id"); //gets value of attribute "id". How will this need to be changed?
var index = idList.indexOf(id); //finds the index number of id within array
idList.splice(index,1); //removes id from array
});
Help on how to do this will be much appreciated, thanks
Entry is a string of html not an dom node, you can create an jQuery object out of it and then add the attribute or just add the id in the string
var entry = $("<li>" + name + remove+ "</li>").attr('id', id); //works fine
or
var entry = "<li id=\""+id+"\">" + name + remove+ "</li>"; //works fine
The click event on .remove-me doesn't work because you're calling entry.remove() and afterwards entry.attr("id"). At that point the entry element has been removed and thus you can't the get the id.
Move entry.remove() below entry.attr("id").

I have a variable that contains HTML.
var html = '<p><span id="variable:7" class="variable-source" title="variable:TEXT_CONTAINER">DATA</span> This is a variable</p>'+
'<p><span id="input:10.New Input 2" class="input-source" title="New Screen; New Input 2">DATA</span> This is a input source</p>'+
'<p>Testing</p>';
I am trying to loop around all of the elements and replace with spans specific date. So any spans with a class of variable-source will need to be replaced with specific date, and the same for input-source.
I have tried to use the following:
$('span', html).replaceWith(function () {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
// this returns the correct id
//calculations go here
var value = 'testing';
return value
});
Which outputs the following:
testing This is a variable
All of the paragraph tags have been removed, and it seems to stop after the first paragraph. Is there something that I am missing here? I can post more code or explain more if needed.
Thanks in advance.
You need to create a html object reference, else you won't get a reference to the updated content. Then get the update content from the created jQuery object after doing the replace operations
var html = '<p><span id="variable:7" class="variable-source" title="variable:TEXT_CONTAINER">DATA</span> This is a variable</p>' +
'<p><span id="input:10.New Input 2" class="input-source" title="New Screen; New Input 2">DATA</span> This is a input source</p>' +
'<p>Testing</p>';
var $html = $('<div></div>', {
html: html
});
$html.find('span.variable-source').replaceWith(function() {
var id = this.id;
// this returns the correct id
//calculations go here
var value = 'replaced variable for: ' + id;
return value
});
$html.find('span.input-source').replaceWith(function() {
var id = this.id;
// this returns the correct id
//calculations go here
var value = 'replaced input for: ' + id;
return value
});
var result = $html.html();
$('#result').text(result);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="result"></div>
I have this HTML:
<li class="sshjd839djjd blahclass"><a onclick="doSomething()">Blah Blah</a></li>
So when I click my link doSomething() is triggered and I want to grab sshjd839djjd. I have many links with different keys like this one which I need to grab correct data.
I don't know much about Javascript and jQuery but I need it to make admin panel which I would use to manage my data in Firebase, just to explain what I'm doing.
I tried to avoid onClick and use .click but that didn't work.
Can somebody help me a bit please?
So what should go in:
function doSomething() {
// grab class which is actually a child key from Firebase which I already implemented
// do Firebase magic, I will know this once I get that key
}
Keys/classes are added like this:
var resultVetRef = new Firebase("https://myappname.firebaseio.com/data/users");
resultVetRef.on("child_added", function(snapshot) {
var key = snapshot.key();
var data = snapshot.val();
var name = data.name;
var city = data.city;
$("#results").append($("<li class=\"" + key + " blahclass\">" + "<a onClick=\"grabVet()\">" + name + ", " + city + "</a></li>"));
});
add the key as data to the li
var resultVetRef = new Firebase("https://myappname.firebaseio.com/data/users");
resultVetRef.on("child_added", function(snapshot) {
var key = snapshot.key();
var data = snapshot.val();
var name = data.name;
var city = data.city;
$("#results").append($("<li class=\"" + key + " blahclass\" data-key=\""+ key +"\">" + "<a onClick=\"grabVet()\">" + name + ", " + city + "</a></li>"));
});
Then get it like:
<li class="sepcialKey blahclass" data-key="sepcialKey"><a>Blah Blah</a></li>
$('a').click(function(){
alert($(this).closest('li').data('key'));
});
Here is the Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/ffyLgg3s/
Specifically for your example
<li class="sshjd839djjd blahclass"><a>Blah Blah</a></li>
$('a').click(function(){
alert( $(this).closest('li')[0].classList.item(0) );
});
using classList and item method.
or if you want to use your own doSomething
<li class="sshjd839djjd blahclass"><a onclick="doSomething(this)">Blah Blah</a></li>
function doSomething(thisObj)
{
alert($(thisObj).closest("li")[0].classList.item(0));
}
ClassList method gives you an array with all classes of the element.
In your case it will return array ["specialKey", "blahclass"] for your <li> element.
function doSomething() {
// get the firs element of classList array and asign it to a variable
var specialKey = this.parentElement.classList[0]; // "this" keyword is the reference to clicked element, "parentElement" give you "li" element reference
// do Firebase magic, I will know this once I get that key
}
Or modify your append code:
var resultVetRef = new Firebase("https://myappname.firebaseio.com/data/users");
resultVetRef.on("child_added", function (snapshot) {
var key = snapshot.key();
var data = snapshot.val();
var name = data.name;
var city = data.city;
// create li element
var li = $("<li class=\"blahclass\"></li>");
// create a element
var a = $("<a>" + name + ", " + city + "</a>");
a.on("click", function () {
// when a clicked execute "doSomething" passing key as parameter
doSomething(key);
})
// append a to li
li.append(a);
//append li to #results
$("#results").append(li);
});
I am trying to get all span elements inside the form. The span elements are turning into input text fields and become editable. When you click away they are turning back into span elements. I will attached fiddle live example.
I gave it a go but the problem is that I am getting both ids but only value of the first span element.
Here is my html:
<span name="inputEditableTest" class="pztest" id="inputEditableTest" data-editable="">First Element</span>
<span name="inputEditableTest2" class="pztest" id="inputEditableTest2" data-editable="">Second Element</span>
<input id="test" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Submit">
And here is JavaScript with jQuery:
$('body').on('click', '[data-editable]', function () {
var $el = $(this);
var name = $($el).attr('name');
var value = $($el).text();
console.log(name);
var $input = $('<input name="' + name + '" id="' + name + '" value="' + value + '"/>').val($el.text());
$el.replaceWith($input);
var save = function () {
var $p = $('<span data-editable class="pztest" name="' + name + '" id="' + name + '" />').text($input.val());
$input.replaceWith($p);
};
$input.one('blur', save).focus();
});
$("#test").on('click', function(){
var ok = $("span")
.map(function () {
return this.id;
})
.get()
.join();
var ok2 = $("#" + ok).text();
alert(ok);
alert(ok2);
//return [ok, ok2];
});
Here is the fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/v427zbo1/3/
I would like to return the results as an array example:
{element id : element value}
How can I read ids and values only inside specific form so something like:
<form id = "editableForm">
<span id="test1">Need these details</span>
<span id="test2">Need these details</span>
<input type="submit">
</form>
<span id="test3">Don't need details of this span</span>
Lets say I have got more than 1 form on the page and I want JavaScript to detect which form has been submitted and grab values of these span elements inside the form
I will be grateful for any help
$("#test").on('click', function(){
var result = {};
$("span").each(function (k, v) {
result[v.id] = v.innerHTML;
});
alert(JSON.stringify(result));
//return [ok, ok2];
});
Here is an example: https://jsfiddle.net/v427zbo1/4/
Container issue:
You should use this selector: #editableForm span if you want to get all the divs inside this container.
$("#editableForm span").each(function (k, v) {
result[v.id] = v.innerHTML;
});
But if you want to get only first-level children elements then you should use this selector: #editableForm > span
Example with getting all the spans inside #editableForm container: https://jsfiddle.net/v427zbo1/9/
If you want to have several forms, then you can do like this:
$('form').on('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var result = {};
$(this).find('span').each(function (k, v) {
result[v.id] = v.innerHTML;
});
alert(JSON.stringify(result));
//return [ok, ok2];
});
Example with two forms: https://jsfiddle.net/v427zbo1/10/
You can't use .text to return the value of multiple elements. It doesn't matter how many elements are selected, .text will only return the value of the first one.
Virtually all jQuery methods that return a value behave this way.
If you want to get an array of values for an array of matched elements, you need another map. You also need to join the strings with , # as you're producing something along the lines of #id1id2id3 instead of #id1, #id2, #id3:
var ok = $("span").map(function () {
return this.id;
}).join(', #')
var ok2 = $("#" + ok).map(function () {
return $(this).text();
});
That said, you're already selecting the right set of elements in your first map. You pass over each element to get its ID, you already have the element. There is no reason to throw it away and reselect the same thing by its ID.
If I got you right following code will do the job
var ok = $("span")
.map(function () {
return {id: $(this).attr('id') , value: $(this).text()};
}).get();
Check this fiddle.
I have list of phones thats displaying as ul li. When user clicking button "buy" it creates new li with in another div "ordersDiv" user can delete his purchase from cart by clicking "Remove" And this must remove li with matching id.
Code that creates purchase:
$("#list").delegate("button",'click',function(){
var purchase = {id: null,name: null,price: null };
var purchases = [];
for(var i = 0; i < phones.length; i++){
if(this.id === phones[i].id){
purchase.id = phones[i].id;
purchase.name = phones[i].name;
purchase.price = phones[i].price;
//break;
purchases.push(purchase);
console.log(purchases);
$.each( purchases, function(i, purchase){
purchases.push("<li id='"+ purchase.id +"'>" + purchase.id +
"<br>" + purchase.name + "<br>" + "Price:" +purchase.price + "<br><button id='"+purchase.id+"' type='button' class='btn-default'>remove</button>" +"</li>" );
});
$('#ordersUl').append(purchases);
}
}
});
Code that supposed to remove li:
$("#ordersCartDiv #ordersUl").delegate("button","click", function() {
var buttonId = $(this).attr('id');
console.log(buttonId);
//$("li[id=buttonId]").remove();
$("#ordersUl").remove(buttonId);
console.log("test"); // code indentation
});
Problem is that this code doesn't removes anything.
you must pass a selector in remove function, like this:
$("#ordersUl").remove('#'+buttonId);
Use remove on button id.
$("# " + buttonId).remove();
No need to use ordersUl since id is unique(?).
If you don't have id unique:
$("#ordersUl #" + buttonId).remove(); // Will remove button inside #ordersUl
Remove the set of matched elements from the DOM.
Docs: http://api.jquery.com/remove/
$("#ordersUl").remove("#"+buttonId);
You should call remove function on element
$("li#"+buttonId).remove();
But ID is supposed to be unique, so it is bad idea to use it in this way. Use data- attributes or classes.
I have 4 <div> tag and <a> tag for each <div> tags.
In each and every div tag i have inserted 2 span tag and a a tag.
When the a tag is clicked i need to get the product name and the price of that div
Here is the demo http://jsfiddle.net/8VCWU/
I get the below warning message when i use the codes in the answer ...
Try this:
$(".get").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var $parent = $(this).closest(".item");
var itemName = $(".postname", $parent).text();
var itemPrice = $(".price", $parent).text();
alert(itemName + " / " + itemPrice);
});
Example fiddle
Note that you had a lot of repeated id attributes which is invalid code and will cause you problems. I've converted the #item elements and their children to use classes instead.
jQuery
$(".get").click(function(event){
event.preventDefault(); /*To Prevent the anchors to take the browser to a new URL */
var item = $(this).parent().find('#postname').text();
var price = $(this).parent().find('#price').text();
var result = item + " " + price;
alert(result)
});
DEMO
A Quick Note about id:
The id attribute specifies a unique id for an HTML element (the value must be unique within the HTML document).
A unique identifier so that you can identify the element with. You can use this as a parameter to getElementById() and other DOM functions and to reference the element in style sheets.
solution is below
use the blow code and try it
<a data-role="link" href="javascript:linkHandler('<%= obj.productname %>', '<%= obj.price %>')" class="get" >Add <a>
function linkHandler(name, price)
{
alert(name);
alert(price);
var name = name;
var price = price;
var cartItem = new item(name, parseFloat(price));
// check duplicate
var match = ko.utils.arrayFirst(viewModel.cartItems(), function(item){ return item.name == name; });
if(match){
match.qty(match.qty() + 1);
} else {
viewModel.cartItems.push(cartItem);
var rowCount = document.getElementById("cartcontent1").getElementsByTagName("TR").length;
document.getElementById("Totala").innerHTML = rowCount;
}
}
with jQuery
$('a.get').on('click',function(){
var parent = $(this).parent();
var name = $(parent+' #postname').text();
var price = $(parent+' #price').text();
});
Or again:
$('a').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var $price = $(this).siblings('#price').text();
var $postname = $(this).siblings('#postname').text();
alert($price);
alert($postname);
});
Try
function getPrice(currentClickObject)
{
var priceSpan = $(currentClickObject).parent("div:first").children("#price");
alert($(priceSpan).html());
}
and add to your a tag:
...
I'd suggest to use classed instead of id if you have more than one in your code.
The function you're looking for is siblings() http://api.jquery.com/siblings/
Here's your updated fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/8VCWU/14/
Hi I cleaned up the HTML as mentioned using the same Id more than once is a problem.
Using jQuery and the markup I provided the solution is trivial.
Make a note of the CSS on the below fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/8VCWU/27/
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#itmLst a.get").click(function(){
var $lstItm = $(this).parents("li:first");
var pName = $lstItm.find("span.postname").html();
var price = $lstItm.find("span.price").html();
alert("Product Name: " + pName + " ; Price: " + price);
});
});
I have made some changes in your html tags and replace all repeated Ids with class, because you have repeated many ids in your html and it causes trouble so it is wrong structure. In HTML, you have to give unique id to each and every tag. it will not be conflicted with any other tag.
Here i have done complete bins demo. i have also specified all alternative ways to find tag content using proper jQuery selector. the demo link is as below:
Demo: http://codebins.com/bin/4ldqp8v
jQuery
$(function() {
$("a.get").click(function() {
var itemName = $(this).parent().find(".postname").text().trim();
var itemPrice = $(this).parent().find(".price").text().trim();
//OR another Alternate
// var itemName=$(this).parents(".item").find(".postname").text().trim();
// var itemPrice=$(this).parents(".item").find(".price").text().trim();
//OR another Alternate
//var itemName=$(this).closest(".item").find(".postname").text().trim();
// var itemPrice=$(this).closest(".item").find(".price").text().trim();
//OR another Alternate
//var itemName=$(this).siblings(".postname").text().trim();
//var itemPrice=$(this).siblings(".price").text().trim();
alert(itemName + " / " + itemPrice);
});
});
Demo: http://codebins.com/bin/4ldqp8v
You can check above all alternatives by un-commenting one by one. all are working fine.
