Write click event dynamically on jquery

Here is the original html
<div class='cl_{{ $gen }}'>{{$gen->name}}</div>
<div class='jl_{{ $var }}'>{{$gen->name}}</div>
After looping over here is the html i got as output
I wanted to do if i click on the class cl_x, then the jl_x should be visible and other should be hidden and by default the first cl_1 should be visible. How can i do this ?
<div class='cl_1'>One</div>
<div class='cl_5'>Two</div>
<div class='cl_6'>Three</div>
<br>
<div class='jl_1'>Alpha</div>
<div class='jl_1'>Andrew</div>
<div class='jl_1'>Christ</div>
<div class='jl_5'>Anto</div>
<div class='jl_5'>Brito</div>
<div class='jl_6'>Oyster</div>
<div class='jl_6'>Beta</div>
Note : All the 1,5,6 are not standard as they are coming from database.
I really can't able to think how to achieve this. Help pls
But Here is what i have tried the logic
Inside Document Ready
Loop over the jquery like html
Write click event to show hide if they cick on cl_*
Trigger the click event for first occurance.
Don't worry about the html generated but the need is to write the jquery events dynamically or something else
But can't able to implement the code pls help
Script :
$(document).ready(function() {
//not sure whether i should loop over the jquery itself or write anything like the element starts with cl-* like that
});
Update :
Here is the Fiddle i have so far

You don't really want to use class for this - a custom data attribute makes sense, though. Like <div class="cl" data-number="{{ $gen }}"> with <div class="jl" data-number="{{$var}}"> on the other elements.
Then inside the $(document).ready(...) you can do something like:
$('.jl').hide().first().show();
$('.cl').click(function(){
$('.jl').hide().filter('[data-number="' + $(this).data('number') + '"]').show();
})
It would also be good to make up more meaningful names than "cl" and "jl" - classes should generally be semantic.

Would move the unique identifiers to a different attribute and add a common class to all the J group
<div class='cl' data-gen="{{ $gen }}">{{$gen->name}}</div>
<div class='jl jl_{{ $var }}'>{{$gen->name}}</div>
JS
$(document).on('click','.cl',function(){
$('.jl').hide().filter('.jl_' + $(this).data('gen') ).show();
})

Add a base "jl" class to all your html that has anything with a "jl_*" so that you will have access to anything overall that has the "jl" class then toggle it hidden or not hidden like so:
HTML:
<div class='cl {{ $gen }}'>{{$gen->name}}</div>
<div class='jl {{ $var }}'>{{$gen->name}}</div>
JS:
$(document).on('click', '.cl', function(e){
var classes = ($(e.target).attr("class").split(' '));
$('.jl').toggleClass("hide");
$('.jl' + "."+ classes[1]).toggleClass("hide");
});
Style:
.hide{
display: none;
}

targeting classes with jquery

Need to pass information from one class to another in a way that will validate. Current approach is a mess- works but does not validate.
I need to pass text inside a p tag to another element on the page. Right now i'm using a tag attributes to pass this info along. Super messy.
<div class="element-item">
<div class="text-panel">
<div class="text-cell">
<a class="ajax" href="ajax/bkdesks.html" id="Brooklyn Desks" dir="BROOKLYN, NY">
<p class="link"><img src="img/chainlink.png" width="60" height="60" alt="link" alt=""/></p>
<p class="name">Brooklyn Desks</p>
<p class="dir">Brooklyn, NY</p>
</a>
</div>
</div>
And then jQuery:
$('.ajax').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#projects-head .titlehead').text($(this).attr('id'));
$('#projects-head .subhead').text($(this).attr('dir'));
$('#project').load($(this).attr('href'));
});
titlehead and subhead are the other elements on the page whose content is being replaced. I would much rather grab the contents of the p tags below than put everything in the a id & dir. But i cant figure out the jquery to target them.

The p.name and p.dir elements are descendant elements of the clicked .ajax element so you can use .find()
$('.ajax').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();var $this = $(this);
$('#projects-head .titlehead').text($(this).find('.name').html());
$('#projects-head .subhead').text($(this).find('.dir').html());
$('#project').load($(this).attr('href'));
});

How to get a div which is removed from the DOM when it's parent has been made .empty()?

I have a div in a HTML file
"<div id="abc" hidden="hidden">
<div id="statIndicator">
<span id="imgInd" class="status-indicator-border">
<img src="../../LibSrc/SharedResources/IMG/loading-trace.gif" />
</span><span id="messageIndicator">Updating Plots...</span>
</div>
</div>"
I insert the statIndicator div in another div using append.
so that div becomes
<div id="parentDiv">
<div id="statIndicator">
<span id="imgInd" class="status-indicator-border">
<img src="../../LibSrc/SharedResources/IMG/loading-trace.gif" />
</span><span id="messageIndicator">Updating Plots...</span>
</div>
</div>
On refresh I write $('#parentDiv').empty() it deletes whatever is inside the 'parentDiv'.
But when I try to append statIndicator using $('#statIndicator'), it return "[]", though I have the 'statIndicator' div in Html.
Is there a way in which I can get the 'statIndicator' div?

No. $.empty() deletes the contents, so your "statIndicator" div no longer exists at all.
Just remove it from "parentDiv" before you call $.empty(). Either store it in a variable or put it back where it started, in "abc".

I think jquery.append() moves the selected elements without making a copy. So you can explicitly create a copy using the .clone() method and append it's result. Something like:
$('#abc #statIndicator').clone().appendTo('#parentDiv');
This is creating a copy and then appending it at the new location.
Once you do this there will be two divs with the same id, so it will be a good idea to always reference the statIndicator's parent container in your selectors.

You can use .detach() function if you want only parentDiv to be removed

Use same div to toggle different parts of the page

Hello I have the following code:
Javascript/jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".clickMe").click(function() {
$(".textBox").toggle();
});
});
Html code printed with a for loop:
<a class="clickMe">Toggle my text</a>
<br />
<div class="textBox"> - This text will be toggled</div>
<a class="clickMe">Toggle my text</a>
<br />
<div class="textBox"> - This text will be toggled 2</div>
<a class="clickMe">Toggle my text</a>
<br />
<div class="textBox"> - This text will be toggled 3</div>
I would like to be able:
When the page loads I want the to be hidden and toggle on click.
Using the same ids for <a class="clickMe"> and <div class="textBox"> to be able to toggle or hide the correct/equivalent <div> element.
jsFiddle code:
http://jsfiddle.net/A7Sm4/3/
Thanks
Edit 1: Class instead of Id
Edit 2: Fixed jsfiddle link

id are supposed to be unique
you should use class to do this
[EDIT] updated the jsfiddle to fit Marko Dumic's solution: http://jsfiddle.net/SugvH/

Something like this should do the trick:
$(document).ready(function() {
var divs = [];
$(".textBox").each(function(index) {
divs[index] = this;
});
$(".clickMe").each(function(index) {
$(this).click(function() {
$(divs[index]).toggle();
});
});
});

ID must (as per spec) be unique on the page. You can easily rewrite this to use class attribute:
<a class="clickMe">Toggle my text</a>
<br />
<div class="textBox"> - This text will be toggled</div>
<a class="clickMe">Toggle my text</a>
<br />
<div class="textBox"> - This text will be toggled 2</div>
...
Initially, you need to either hide div.textBox when DOM becomes ready, or hide it using CSS.
Then you attach click handlers to a.clickMe:
$(function () {
$('a.clickMe').click(function () {
// find first of following DIV siblings
// with class "textBox" and toggle it
$(this).nextAll('div.textBox:first').toggle();
});
});
However, maybe you don't control the markup but desperately need this done, you can keep your markup as it is and still make it work due to the fact that jQuery uses Sizzle framework to query the DOM which can be forced around the limitation of document.getElementById() (which returns only one element).
E.g. suppose you used id instead of class, if you write $('#clickMe'), you'll get the jQuery collection of only one element (jQuery internally used .getElementById() to find the element), but if you write $('#clickMe'), you get the collection of all elements with the id set to "clickMe". This is because jQuery used document.getElementsByTagName('a') to find all anchors and then filtered-out the elements (by iterating and testing every element) whose attribute value is not "clickMe".
In that case (you used your original markup), this code will work:
$(function () {
$('a#clickMe').click(function () {
$(this).nextAll('div#textBox:first').toggle();
});
});
Again, don't do this unless you absolutely need to!

$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function() {
$(this).parent().find("div").toggle();
});
});
Use something similar to this.

Try appending an index to each pair of a/div's ids (clickme1 and textbox1, etc). Then when an a is clicked, read the id, take the index off the end, and show/hide the textbox with the same index.

how can content between a class put in a variable after click?

How do I retrieve the content between and including the following <div class="adding"> and store it in a variable?
<div class="adding">
<b>
<div class="column">
<div class="mediumCell">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="توضیح" title="نام پکیج تور خارجی">
</div>
</div>
<div class="column" style="margin: 5px 3px;">
<div class="mediumCell">
<div class="adda">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</b>
</div>
var adding = '<div class="adding"><b><div class="column"><div class="mediumCell"><input type="text" name="name" placeholder="توضیح" title="نام پکیج تور خارجی"></div></div><div class="column" style="margin: 5px 3px;"><div class="mediumCell"><div class="adda"></div></div></div></b></div>'
In each click I want to get the content just once.
Unfortunately, after two or more clicks getting content several times together (E.x: after two clicks it stores the content twice).
I tried this:
$(function () {
var i = $('.adding').size();
$('.add_input').live('click', function () {
var scntDiv = '.' + $(this)
.closest('.find_input')
.find('div')
.attr('class');
var input = $(scntDiv).html();
$(this).remove();
$(input).appendTo(scntDiv);
i++;
return false;
});
});

You can use the html() method, as others have said, but there's a catch: that method returns the inner HTML content of the element, so the markup of the outer <div> element won't be included in the result.
Since you seem to want that markup, you can work around the issue with clone(), wrap() and parent():
var adding = $("div.adding").clone().wrap("<div>").parent().html();

You can get the inner HTML using the html function:
var adding = $(".adding").html():
...which will give you the browser's version of the markup within the first matching div (the first div with the class "adding"). It's fairly simple at that point to wrap it with the markup for the div, unless there are a lot of chaotic attributes involved.
However, note that the markup you get back may not be what you expect, because your HTML is invalid. b elements cannot contain div elements (b elements may only contain phrasing content; div elements are flow content), and so the browser adjust things as it sees fit to display something reasonable. This is a Bad Thing(tm), it's much better with dynamic web apps to ensure that your HTML is valid.

Is that what you're asking for ?
var adding;
$('.adding').click(function(){
adding = $(this).html();
alert(adding);
});

var adding = $(".adding").html();
maybe?
