Hide div if the ul is empty - javascript

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;
}

check ul having li with specific class, jQuery

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);

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;
});

How to count width of same type elements till some element

HTML:
<li class="home"><img alt="home" src="img/gohome.png"/></li>
<li class="portfolio closed" ><span>portfolio</span></li>
<li class="articles opened" style="margin-right: 849px;"><span>articles</span></li>
<li class="contact"><span>contact</span></li>
JS:
$('nav li').each(function(index) { //Navigation total width
navWidth += $(this).width();
});
I have script like that which works, but I also have to count width of Li elements till some specific element basing on class for ex. portfolio. And i don't have idea how to do it.
Another option with nextUntil():
$("nav li:first").nextUntil(".portfolio").andSelf().each(function(index) {
navWidth += $(this).width();
});
One way could be to exit the loop when you encounter an element with that class:
$('nav li').each(function() {
if ($(this).hasClass('portfolio')) {
return false;
}
navWidth += $(this).width();
});
Another way is to just select all the elements until the element with class portfolio. This can be done by getting the index of said element and select all elements up to that index:
var $lis = $('nav li');
$lis.slice(0, $lis.filter('.portfolio').index()).each(function() {
// ...
});
This is under the assumption that all those li elements are siblings of each other.
Reference: .each, .filter, .slice

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.
