I haven't found a good example of this, I have this CSS snippet.
#divname .jqplot-point-label {
color: #000000;
}
I know how to change CSS if it's just the ID, or just the class, but in this case I'm not sure what the JavaScript would look like.
I'm trying
$('#divname .jqplot-point-label').css({'color':'#000000'});
But that didn't work.
Thanks!
Make sure to wrap your code in ready handler (your code is fine but missing to use ready handler will cause your code not to work):
$(function(){
$('#divname .jqplot-point-label').css({'color':'#000000'});
});
I assume you are including jQuery in your page with correct path.
use $('#divname.jqplot-point-label') as the selector. (no space between the id and class name).
$(#divname .jqplot) is looking for an element with class .jqplot with an ancestor of #divname.

I want to toggle(hide/show) an element when a button is being pressed. I have two ways as to implement this:
Find the element according to its class name, e.g $('.my-content')
Find the element according to its relevant DOM position towards the button, e.g. $('#my-button').parent().next().next().next()
However, none of the above seems to me very reliable since in case someone changes the HTML code, the above approaches should not work. Is there something more reliable I am missing?
If it's a specific element, supply it with an Id value and use that
to find it.
If it's a TYPE of element, use a class name.
Other than that, there's no real conventions. Just try and make sure that somebody reading your code understands what is going on.
A very good practice is to decouple HTML, CSS and JS.
When binding javascript to DOM elements you should use javascript selectors.
Basically classes with some custom prefix (like js-) which will be used only for javascript purposes (not css style).
So whenever the DOM tree structure or the CSS class names are changed, you can still have your working JS selector
HTML
<div class="my-content js-toggle-element"></div>
JS
$('.js-toggle-element')
CSS
.my-content{ ... }
Plus, using Javascript Selectors:
makes HTML highly readable: you can easily find out what will happen to that element with that js class
allows you to easily apply/disapply that behaviour also to other elements in the future, simply by adding/removing that class in your HTML and without affecting CSS at all
<div class="my-content js-toggle-element"></div>
...
<div class="another-content-to-toggle js-toggle-element"></div>
Using jQuery will be much easiest way. Like this -
$( ".target" ).toggle();
The matched elements will be revealed or hidden immediately, with no animation, by changing the CSS display property. If the element is initially displayed, it will be hidden; if hidden, it will be shown.
Reference - jQuery Toggle
If the class or the position of the element in DOM is changing then you can try
selecting it with the inner text
$("button:contains('buttontextgoeshere')")
I'd like to remove the following HTML:
Buy It
This HTML is added dynamically (not by me).
How is this done in jquery? Or is it better done in AngularJS?
i would solve this by using css..
.css-button {display: none !important}
since it is added dynamically you would need a trigger function or search repedetly for that special container -> slows down the page
//EDIT with jQuery if necessary
if you really want to do it with jquery, is it always a certain container where the button appears? you could do something like this:
function removeButton() {
$('.css-button').remove();
}
// Listen DOM changes
$('.theContainer').bind("DOMSubtreeModified", removeButton);
see here: http://davidwalsh.name/dom-events-javascript
You can use .remove():
$('.css-button').remove();
In this case you should use :contains to find the button, keep in mind that is a string search:
$( "a:contains('Buy It')" ).remove()
I have this element in my HTML page:
<a style="display:block;width:728px;height:90px;margin:0 auto;background:#EEE url('/_images/2011images/img_dotco_3.jpg') no-repeat top left; text-decoration:none;color:#000;" href="/domain-registration/dotco-overview.aspx?sourceid=bnrq2co728x90">
<span style="float:right;margin:5px 27px 0 0;width:110px;color:#FFF;text-align:center">
<span style="display:block;font-size:1em;text-align:center">NOW ONLY</span>
<strong style="display:block;font-size:1.6em;text-align:center"><!-- START TAG // Co_RegisterPrice_TLD -->
<span class="Tag_Co_RegisterPrice_TLD"><strong>$35.70</strong>/yr</span>
<!-- End TAG // Co_RegisterPrice_TLD --></strong>
</span>
</a>
I need to hide it with CSS or Javascript. CSS would be the best scenario but Javascript is OK as well.
The fact is that I cannot edit the HTML code at all, so I have no way to delete this item directly. Also this is not parent of any other HTML element, so I do not find an easy way to hide it with CSS.
Also I need to hide this A element even if the background image changes or the link changes, in fact it's not always the same.
I reported all the available HTML.
Here is an example http://subdir.co/help-center/default.aspx
It's the top banner there.
Let me know how to hide it from the page. Thanks.
Try with jQuery:
$('a[href^="/domain-registration/dotco-overview.aspx?sourceid"]').hide();
This hides the a tag with a href attribute starting with /domain-registration/dotco-overview.aspx?sourceid.
Use:
document.getElementById('yourElementId').display=none;
You can traverse the dom tree from the class "Tag_Co_RegisterPrice_TLD" to find the A tag which you can then hide.
If you need to do additional logic then you can access the text (e.g. price/title/url) before deciding to hide.
Use jQuery if raw javascript is to much for you.
Since you cannot change the HTML code, you can't add an identifier to the element in order to select and manipulate it.
But you can use jQuery to select the first 'a' element, and set the 'display' property to 'none'.
I think something like this should do:
$('a:first').css("display","none");
You could try it with css:
a[style][href] {
display: none !important;
}
i think adding class or making some rule for css selector woudn't work, because definition in attribute of the elements overrides another style definition.
It will be easy if you use some javascript library for dom manipulating for example jQuery.
after that you can write something like
$(".sCntSub3 > a").hide()
you can try finding element from browser console. It is easy way how to verify you choose right element
jsFiddle Classname Method DEMO
jQuery via Classname: In this method we "look inside" the anchor for clues.
$(document).ready(function () {
// To disable the line below, just comment it out just like this line is.
$('.Tag_Co_RegisterPrice_TLD').closest('a').hide();
});
jsFiddle ID Method DEMO
jQuery via ID: This time, we don't look inside since anything can change. We now use a div reference!
$(document).ready(function () {
// To disable the line below, just comment it out just like this line is.
// No matter the unique ID code in front of MasterUpdatePanel Div, it will always be matched.
$('[id$="MasterUpdatePanel"]').next('a').hide();
});
Shown here is a Firefox Screenshot of the HTML Page. Notice the Div ID contains ctl00_MasterUpdatePanel. The letters, numbers, and underscore in front of that may change, but not this keyword. Therefore, a match of the "ending part" of the id works!
I'm experimenting with a third party library written on top of jQuery.
I noticed, for a number of their widgets, that when your source says, for example,
<div id="myWidgetInst" class="their-widget-class-0" ... </div>
Firebug shows that the resulting DOM element reads:
<div id="myWidgetInst" class="their-widget-class-0 their-widget-class-1 ..." ... </div>
How do they do it? Many thanks.
it's probably jquery !
there's probably a function running adding classes to the elements
Not sure I fully understand your question but when looking at the "regular" source of the website, this source doesn't show any modifications to the DOM that happened due to javascript modifications. Firebug does show these updates.
using jQuery, you can add/remove classes simply by using .addClass("className") or .removeClass("className") function on the element you want to modify
They would add classes to the element with jQuery. For example, if the plugin's purpose was to hide all elements on the page (innovative and highly practical, I know), they could use the following:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("*").addClass("my-widget-made-your-element-invisible");
});
With the CSS:
.my-widget-made-your-element-invisible { display: none; }
The methods in which you can manipulate the class attribute in jQuery include the following:
$("#elem").addClass("a"); // adds the class "a" to elem
$("#elem").removeClass("a"); // removes the class "a" from elem
$("#elem").attr("class", "a"); // gives elem a complete class of "a"
$("#elem").attr("class", ""); // removes all classes from attribute
Wouldn't this work if I want to apply a new class to all H3 tags inside the RelArtik div?
$("h3",$("#RelArtik")).addClass("underrubrik");
Thanks.
According to the documentation jQuery should accept a jQuery object as the context so there's no obvious reason why what you've written shouldn't work.
However, it also says that:
$(selector, context)
is equivalent to:
$(context).find(selector)
So you could just try:
$('#RelArtik').find('h3').addClass(...);
which is of course also equivalent to:
$('#RelArtik h3').addClass(...);
however I believe the former .find() based solution is faster.
it's the same as CSS and would work with a descendant selector
$("#RelArtik h3").addClass("underrubrik");
Alternatively you can just do:
$('#RelArtik h3').addClass('underrubrik');
