So I try to select a div within another div. My html goes like this:
<div id="Stage_game_page1"><div id="cube0">[...]</div><div id="cube1">[...]</div></div>
I want to select my #cube0 within my Stage_game_page specifically, with jQuery or JS.
The goal of the selection is to use it in an loop.
I tried :
var count =$("#Stage_game_page").children().length;
for(i=0; i<count;i++){
$("#Stage_game_page")$("#cube"+i)[...]
}
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
var count =$("#Stage_game_page").children().length;
for(i=0; i<count;i++){
$("#cube"+i);
}
This is sufficient to select the "#cube0"/"#cube1"/"#cube2" etc. especially since ids are always unique. To answer the question $("#cube0", "#Stage_game_page")... that is how you select a div in another div
The id attribute should only be used once! I see above that you're using id="cube0" twice. If you want your divs to be recognized in multiple instances, use a class instead (the . instead of the #). Using the same id twice will probably break your script.
I believe for your html, you could use id "cube0", "cube1", etc., as long as you're ok with entering them manually. That should work for the loop you'd like to use.
Loops through each div that starts with the id cube inside Stage_game_page1
$("#Stage_game_page1 > div[id^='cube']").each(function () {
alert($(this).html());
});
JSFiddle
Child Selctor
Starts with Selector
use each() for loop.
$('#Stage_game_page1').children().each(function(index) {
// your code here with index starts from 0
});
or this using jquery attribute starts with selector
$('#Stage_game_page1').find('[id^="cube"]').each(function(index) {
// your code here
});
You need to use .find() or .children() or the like.
The correct jQuery usage would be
$("#Stage_game_page").find('#cube'+i)
to find a div with that id inside the container #stage_game_page
You have duplicate cube0 in your html code..
and i think the look should contain something like that:
$("#cube"+i)[...]
One another solution is:
$("#Stage_game_page1 div[id='cube0']")

I'm using the jQuery .append() function to input content into HTML elements via their id like so;
function returnGameDetailed(data) {
$('#game-synopsis').append(data.results.deck);
}
For some of the data.results I need to append them to multiple elements, is there a correct method to do this?
In the documentation I can only see a method for multiple inputs to the same element, not reversed.
Here's what i've attempted;
$('#game-title').$('#purchase-amazon').append(data.results.name);
and
$('#game-title', '#purchase-amazon').append(data.results.name);
You were almost right. The correct way is here:
$('#game-title, #purchase-amazon').append(data.results.name);
However, I'd recommend you to use classes instead:
$('.elements-to-insert').append(data.results.name);
<div class="elements-to-insert" id="game-title"></div>
<div class="elements-to-insert" id="purchase-amazon"></div>
Give both elements a class and then append to that class
$('.className').append(data.results.name);
The elements having the className will get appended with the html
I have 8 divs with id="div1","div2","div3".... and a class=divs. I also have a button with class="div1","div2","div3"......
When I click the button with id="div1", it will first remove all the class="selected" to all div that has a class="divs" then only the div with id="div1" will have the class selected. And so on.....
I want to use document.getElementByClass() for removing class but it don't work in my FIDDLE. :(
Instead, Im forced to use document.getElementsByClassName()[]. But it seems so hard to code since it requires me to put the specific arrays for the classname.
This is exactly I want to achieve FIDDLE
There is no getElementByClass for a reason: unlike id, class is not specified to be unique in a document. Which element would you get? No, you need the ability to get all of them. And if you get an array, that's solved by looping, not by repeating rows for each index:
However, your design is inefficient; and if you're already using jQuery, you can write it very tightly. This would be better:
<button class="divbuttons" data-div="div1">div1</button>
<button class="divbuttons" data-div="div2">div2</button>
...
then you can:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.divbuttons').click(function() {
var div = $(this).data("div");
$('.divs.selected').removeClass('selected');
$('#' + div).addClass('selected');
});
});
This is an easy one. There is no document.getElementByClass
You have document.getElementById or document.getElementByClassName
There's no such thing as getElementByClass() because multiple elements can have the same class. There's getElementById() (elements have unique ids, or at least they're supposed to) and getElementsByClassName(), which returns an array of all elements that match the class specified.
try
$(document).ready(function () {
$("button[class^=div]").click(function () {
$(".divs.selected").removeClass("selected");
$("#" + $(this).attr("class")).addClass("selected");
});
});
DEMO
I have the following code below:
<script type="text/javascript">
var $info = $('#thumb');
enquire.register("(max-width: 480px)", {
match: function() {
$info.removeClass('col-xs-6');
$info.addClass('col-xs-12');
},
unmatch: function() {
$info.removeClass('col-xs-12');
$info.addClass('col-xs-6');
}
}).listen();
</script>
I am using Enquire.js to dynamically add and remove css classes from elements.
The above code works but only for the first '#thumb'. I have about 12 elements which have the thumb id. Anyone know how I can apply it to all elements with the same ID
You have to use a class. ID's are unique so they can only apply it once. If you do: $('.thumb') then you will be fine.
It might be helpful for you to run your source through an html validator, which would help point out that it's not valid to have more than one element with the same id. Which is why it's only updating the first of your 12 elements.
Take a read through this http://css-tricks.com/the-difference-between-id-and-class/ is one quick reference that can hopefully explain the what/why/how of what's going on here.
#xxx is get by id. and you need to make sure this id is unique. If you want to get by class is .xxx for get by class, you will get it in array. So need to to use for-loop to addclass or removeclass
Edit: one missing piece of information - I can't use the class selector because there are more divs with the same class. I already thought of that, but I forgot to mention it. I have no idea why my post got downvoted, but it seems awfully silly considering I provided a lot of information, gave it honest effort, and tried to be verbose with code examples. People on this forum are ridiculous sometimes.
I'm trying to set the id of a div that doesn't have one and there's no way I can give it one upon generation of the page. I've tried using jquery (.each, .contains, .find, .filter, etc.) and I can't seem to get it right. I know a ton of people have asked this question, but none of the answers made sense to me.
I have the ability to set the text (html?) of the div, but nothing else. It ends up looking like this:
<div class="dhxform_note" style="width: 300px;">Remaining letters: 500</div>
I want a handle to the div object so I can show the user how many more letters they can type by updating the text.
Using this:
$("div")
returns a list of all divs on the page. I can see the target div in the list, but I can't get jquery to return a single object.
I know it can also be done with something like this:
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
for(var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {
if( /^Remaining letters/.test(divs[i].innerText) )
divs[i].id = "kudosMsgNote"
}
}
but I was hoping to complete this with a cleaner looking solution involving jquery. I also simply want to know how to do it with jquery, aesthetics not withstanding.
Use a class selector.
var theDivViaTheClass = $(".dhxform_note");
Class Selector (“.class”)
Description: Selects all elements with the given class.
version added: 1.0
jQuery( ".class" )
class: A class to search for. An
element can have multiple classes; only one of them must match.
For class selectors, jQuery uses JavaScript's native
getElementsByClassName() function if the browser supports it.
You seem to be targeting the <div> by its text. Try using the :contains selector:
$("div").filter(':contains("Remaining letters")').first().attr("id", "kudosMsgNote");
The .first() is to make sure you don't set the same id for multiple elements, in case multiple elements contain the text "Remaining letters".
Here's the docs for the :contains selector: http://api.jquery.com/contains-selector/
Be careful, the text you're looking for is case sensitive when using :contains!
Is that div the only one with the class dhxform_note? If so, you can use the class selector:
$('.dhxform_note').html();
With jQuery, you can specify any css selector to get at the div:
$(".dhxform_note").attr("id", "kudosMsgNote");
will get you this element as well.
Selecting on inner text can be a bit dicey, so I might recommend that if you have control over the rendering of that HTML element, you instead render it like this:
<div name="remainingLetters" class="dhxform_note" style="width: 300px">Remaining Letters: 500</div>
And get it like this:
$("[name=remainingLetters]").attr("id", "kudosMsgNote");
However, it's possible that you really need to select this based on the inner text. In that case, you'll need to do the following:
$("div").each(function() {
if ( /^Remaining letters/.test($(this).html()) ) {
$(this).attr("id", "kudosMsgNote");
}
});
If you cannot set id for whatever reason, I will assume you cannot set class either. Maybe you also don't have the exclusive list of classes there could be. If all those assumptions really apply, then you can consider down your path, otherwise please use class selector.
With that said:
$("div").filter(function() {
return /^Remaining letters/.test($(this).text())
}).attr('id', 'id of your choice');
For situations where there are multiple divs with the class dhxform_note and where you do not know the exact location of said div:
$("div.dhxform_note").each(function(){
var text = $(this).text();
if(/^Remaining letters/.test(text)){
$(this).attr("id", "kudosMsgNote");
}
});
EXAMPLE
If, however, you know that the div will always be the 2nd occurrence of dhxform_note then you can do the following:
$("div.dhxform_note").get(1).id = "kudosMsgNote";
EXAMPLE
Or do a contains search:
$("div.dhxform_note:contains('Remaining letters')").first().attr("id", "kudosMsgNote");
EXAMPLE
This should be basic, but for some reason its not working for me. I just want to store the id when a link that has a certain class is clicked in a variable so as an example:
Some link
I would want jquery to get the id of the link above and store it in a variable. I have tried $this.attr("id") and $this.id, but non of this worked.
This is what I have for the jquery:
$(".only_this_class").click(function() {
var clickedId= $(this).attr("id");
alert(clickedId);
});
I just get "undefined" every time.
I removed the space between this and _class in class="only_this _class" and it is working for me.
Try this here
Please have a look at jQuery Selectors
If you have two classes in your HTML then the syntax is different:
$('.classA.classB')
Have a look at How can I select an element with multiple classes?
NAVEED is right, if you remove the space it works, because if there is a space HTML will put two classes on the element: only_this and _class.
If you are in fact looking for two different classes, you should replace the space with a dot to make it work properly, as in $(".only_this._class")
$(".only_this _class") this selector will look for _class tag in .only_this element. May you are looking for $(".only_this") which will select element which has this class. Try this.
$(".only_this").click(function() {
var clickedId= $(this).attr("id");
alert(clickedId);
});
