2 divs should open 2 different divs

sorry for the title, I don't know how I should have said it better (my brain is currently melting because of this problem I can't solve).
Here's a description of my problem:
At first I have one div with a list of names in it:
<div id="objekt1">
<ul id="listeNamen">
<li> Hans Mustername </li>
<li> Hans Mustername </li>
<li> Hans Mustername </li>
</ul>
</div>
When I click on a name in this div, a second div box (#objekt2) pops up, with more information about the person I clicked on. In this div box there may be a link to even more details, if you click this #objekt3 (new div box) should pop up.
If I already clicked on the link in #objekt1 and click it again, there shouldn't be any more div added, same goes for #objekt2.
Now I've tried it using jQuery, sadly it doesn't work the way it should. If I click the link in #Objekt1 2 times, 2 divs will be added. If I click the link in #Objekt2 no div is added.
Here's my jQuery code for this:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
function checkDiv(){
var anzahlDiv = $("div").length;
if (anzahlDiv == 1){
$('<div id="objekt2">testlink #1</div>').insertAfter("#objekt1");
}else if (anzahlDiv == 2){
$('<div id="objekt3">testlink #2</div>' ).insertAfter("#objekt2");
}else{
return;
}
exit;
}
$('#objekt1 ul li a, #objekt2 a').click(function () {
checkDiv();
});
Is there anyone here who could help me out on this one please? :(

I would do it by adding some data attributes to the html, and then process those with generalized javascript. It's more readable, and no need to modify code if the data changes.
Basically I added a data-show attribute to the links, which is a comma separated list of the div ids that needs to be visible when the link has been clicked.
HTML:
<div id="objekt1">
<ul id="listeNamen">
<li>John</li>
<li>Mary</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="john-info" class="infodiv">
Info about John.
More info
</div>
<div id="john-moreinfo" class="infodiv">
More info about John.
</div>
<div id="mary-info" class="infodiv">
Info about Mary.
More info
</div>
<div id="mary-moreinfo" class="infodiv">
More info about Mary.
</div>
CSS:
.infodiv {
display: none;
}
JS:
$("body").on("click", ".infolink", function (event) {
var dataShow = $(this).attr("data-show").split(",");
$(".infodiv").each(function (index, div) {
var divId = $(div).attr("id"),
visible = dataShow.indexOf(divId) !== -1;
$(div).toggle(visible);
});
event.preventDefault();
});
Here is a working demo jsfiddle.

Since you want different actions for different objects you should have differnet functions e.g.:
....
//Based on your curent code
function for_objekt1()
if (anzahlDiv == 1){
$('<div id="objekt2">testlink #1</div>').insertAfter("#objekt1");
}else if (anzahlDiv == 2){
$('objekt2').remove();
if (anzahlDiv == 3){
$('objekt3').remove();
...
}
}
...
or something similar

Incase if you have fewer divs to show then you can do like this
<div id="objekt1">
<ul id="listeNamen">
<li> Hans Mustername </li>
<li> Hans Mustername </li>
<li> Hans Mustername </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="test"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function first(){
$('#test').html("");
$('#test').html('or any thing you want');
}
function second(){
$('#test').html("");
$("#test").html("other thing you want"
)};
</script>
In case you have dynamic content the you can create a single function and pass its id the function and change the content of the div as you would like. It may not solve the problem but hope it would be helpful enough :)

How to find a particular grand parent by Id and get value of its particular children by certain class using jQuery

I have a dynamic div
<div class="illustartionWrap" id="illustartionWrapId">
<div class="illusList illusListTop" id="illusList_heading">
<span class="fileName">File Name</span>
<span class="fileDesc">Description</span>
<span class="fileSize">File Size</span>
<span class="fileDownload">Download</span>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="illusList">
<span class="fileName">fileTitle</span>
<span class="fileDesc">fileDesc</span>
<span class="fileSize">1.18 MB</span>
<span class="fileDownload">
<a href="http://myfile/file.txt">
<img src="/sites/all/themes/petheme/images/myimage.png">
</a>
<a href="#">
<img id="illFile_6" class="illDeleteFile" src="/sites/all/themes/petheme/images/icons/deleteButton.png">//clicking it to delete the file from db
</a>
</span>
</div>
</div>
How to get the parents of this delete button and find the filetitle class to get the title of the file.
Below is click handler which I wrote
/**delete function for my page**/
jQuery(".illDeleteFile").on("click", function() {
var illDeleteId = jQuery(this).attr("id").split("_");
var illFileTitle = jQuery(this).parent("#illusList").children(".fileName").val();
alert (illFileTitle);
});
I checked with jQuery Parent() , Parents() and children() and also find() but I am getting undefined mostly and not getting the title.
How to achieve this?
JSFIDDLE : http://jsfiddle.net/hiteshbhilai2010/ywhbd9ut/14/

See this,
jQuery(".illDeleteFile").on("click", function() {
var illFileTitle =jQuery(this).closest(".illusList").find(".fileName").html();
alert (illFileTitle);
});

You'll want to use:
var illFileTitle = jQuery(this).closest(".illusList").find(".fileName").text();
alert(illFileTitle);

jQuery Use the text of an element to toggle another element that contains the same text?

I'm extremely new to jquery and I've been struggling to create this action. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
I need a way in jquery that allows a user to click a span and toggle (i.e .toggle()) another div that contains the same text as the span being clicked, without having to repeat the same function for each individual span.
My example:
<ul>
<li class="sub">
<div class="filter-row">
<div class="row-section">
<div class="row-heading">art</div>
<span class="label studio-art">studio art</span>
<span class="label ceramics">ceramics</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li class="sub">
<div class="filter-row">
<div class="row-section">
<div class="row-heading">studio art</div>
<span class="label">Option 1</span>
<span class="label">Option 2</span>
</div>
<div class="row-section">
<div class="row-heading">ceramics</div>
<span class="label">Option 1</span>
<span class="label">Option 2</span>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
If a user were to click the span that contains "studio art", then I want the div that contains "studio art" to ".toggle()". I do know that I could give a unique class such as ".studio-art" to the span and div that i want to connect together, such as:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("span.label.studio-art").click(function(){
$(".row-section.studio-art").toggle();
});
$("span.label.ceramics").click(function(){
$(".row-section.ceramics").toggle();
});
});
Jsfiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/KCRUSHER/6qLX7/
But I want to avoid doing what I have above since I may have hundreds of spans or instances like this.
So basically I'm hoping for help to create a solution that only needs the string in a span to match the string in my "row-heading" div. So that when a span is clicked the row-section div will toggle.
Thank you for any help in advance.

You can find all other div elements with the same text by using jQuery's filter method and toggle them. You'll have to pick your class names more sensibly to make sense and easier to understand.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".row-section span").click(function(){
var clickedText = $(this).text();
$(".row-section").filter(function(){
return $(this).find("div").text() === clickedText;
}).toggle();
});
});
Updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6qLX7/2/
.filter documentation: http://api.jquery.com/filter/

I didn't test this, but it should work.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("span.label").click(function(){
var checkText = $(this).html();
$( ".row-section:contains('"+checkText+"')" ).each(function(index,element){
// This checks for exact match. If you want any "containing" match, remove the if-clause
if($(element).html() == checkText) {
$(element).toggle();
}
});
});
});
Let me know if this helps. P.S.! This function IS case-sensitive (see http://api.jquery.com/contains-selector/ for more details.)

mouseenter/leave & mouseover/out problems

Script:
$( ".title").mouseenter(function() {
var which = $(this).index();
$('.globalnav li').find('.dropdown').hide().eq(which).show();
}).mouseleave(function() {
var which = $(this).index();
$('.globalnav li').find('.dropdown').hide().eq(which).hide();
});
Navigation:
<ul class="globalnav">
<li>
<div class="title">Home</div>
<div class="dropdown">
<div class="navlinks">
<div class="linkstitle">Title</div>
<div class="navlink">Link1</div>
<div class="navlink">Link1</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
...
The above code is what I am using right now which does not work in Chrome as intended *I need to hold my click down to view the div. I use mouseover, it does not work properly in IE and FF.
I am also having trouble showing the associated div of the title (on title hover, show specific div) due to the nature of the coding format itself (client given code). Right now, on hovering over a title, it shows the first li's content for "navlinks".
Here's a fiddle to show you
Thanks

Why are you using the index of the .title element, if the other LI's look like that, the which variable will always be 0, and it's not the way to target the right .dropdown ?
Try something more like this
$( ".title").on('mouseenter mouseleave', function(e) {
var dropdown = $(this).closest('li').find('.dropdown').toggle(e.type=='mouseenter');
$('.dropdown').not(dropdown).hide();
});
And if you want the dropdown to be visible while hovering it, place it inside the element that triggers the mouseleave
<li>
<div class="title">
Home
<div class="dropdown">
<div class="navlinks">
<div class="linkstitle">Title</div>
<div class="navlink">Link1</div>
<div class="navlink">Link1</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>

Find the value of a link and use that link as the class name for a parent element

Hey guys – I have the following HTML:
<div>
<span class="icon">
Technology
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span class="icon">
Design
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span class="icon">
Management
</span>
</div>
I'm looking for a short and sweet jQuery snippet that will detect the value in the link, and add that value as a class name for to the span, resulting in the following:
<div>
<span class="icon Technology">
Technology
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span class="icon Design">
Design
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span class="icon Management">
Management
</span>
</div>
I am using:
var categoryName = $(".icon a", this).html();
$(".icon").addClass(categoryName);
But it is only taking the value of the first link and applying that as the class name for each span.
Thanks for the help as always!

$(".icon").each(function(){
$(this).addClass($(this).find("a").html());
});
JSFiddle
You can also do this with a loop:
var spans = $(".icon");
for(var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++)
{
var cspan = $(spans[i]);
$(cspan).addClass($(cspan).find("a").html());
}
JSFiddle

use .each() to iterate over all span with class icon.:
$('.icon').each(function(){
$(this).addClass($(this).find('a').html())
})
Working Fiddle

You can run this on page load or under some event:
$(".icon").each(function(){
var name = $(this).find("a").text();
$(this).addClass(name);
});

You can use:
1) $.each() to loop through the span with class icon
2) .find() to find the child anchor inside your span
3) .text() to get the text of the found anchor:
$.each($('span.icon'), function(){
$(this).addClass($(this).find('a').text());
});
