Add class with a particular div

I have this div
<div class="newDiv">
It is generating in loop, something like
<div class="newDiv">
<div class = "innerDiv">
SomeCode
</div>
</div>
<div class="newDiv">
<div class = "innerDiv">
SomeCode
</div>
</div>
<div class="newDiv">
<div class = "innerDiv">
SomeCode
</div>
</div>
Now I want to add another class "BrightDiv" with the div that generated at odd places like
with first and third div.
what should I do to add Class "BrightDiv" along with "newDiv" with every div at odd place?

Try this : You can use :odd or :even to select odd / even elements, but it is depend on the index position and not natural number count. So In your case, you want first and third position div i.e. with index= 0 and 2 which is even by index position and hence use :even.
$('div.newDiv:even').addClass('BrightDiv');
DEMO

You can use filter to select only the odd indexed divs
$(".newDiv").filter(function() {
return $(this).index() % 2 == 1;
}).addClass("BrightDiv");

this will give you a solution $("div:even").addClass("BrightDiv");

Ways to achieve this:
CSS:
.newDiv:nth-child(odd) { /*CSS*/ }
or
.newDiv:nth-child(2n-1) { /*CSS*/ }
jQuery:
$('.newDiv:odd').addClass('BrightDiv');

jQuery check divs has a class and unwrap if no other class

I have two div's and what I am trying to do is loop through all the divs to check if the div has a class jsn-bootstrap3, I'm also trying to check to see if the div has any other classes, if it doesn't then I'd like to remove the jsn-bootstrap3 div so that the child content is whats left.
<div class="jsn-bootstrap3">
<div class="wrapper">
Div one
</div>
</div>
<div class="jsn-bootstrap3 block">
<div class="wrapper">
Div two
</div>
</div>
$('div').each(function() {
if ($(this).hasClass()) {
console.log($(this));
var class_name = $(this).attr('jsn-bootstrap3');
console.log(class_name);
}
});
jsFiddle

You can try something like
$('div.jsn-bootstrap3').removeClass('jsn-bootstrap3').filter(function () {
return $.trim(this.className.replace('jsn-bootstrap3', '')) == ''
}).contents().unwrap();
Demo: Fiddle
use the class selector to find div's with class jsn-bootstrap3 because we are not goint to do anything with others
use filter() to filter out div's with any other class
use unwrap() with contents() to remove the wrapping div

Replace the same class div and has no ID

I have four DIVS, one is ready and the other three are still hidden. When the link to the second div is pressed, I want the second div to show up, and so for the next link.
The problem is, all the four DIV doesn't have ID and has the same class.
I just want it to automatically run without knowing what is the ID and the class of the div, or anything inside the div. It may look like a slideshow but on click function.
<p> link to the ready div </P>
<p> link to the second div </P>
<p> link to the third div </P>
<p> link to the last div </P>
<div id="wrapper">
<div> this is the div that is ready. This div has no ID and has the same class with others <div>
<div> this is the second div that is hidden. This div has no ID and has the same class with others <div>
<div> this is the third div that is hidden. This div has no ID and has the same class with others <div>
<div> this is the last div that is hidden. This div has no ID and has the same class with others <div>
</div>
FIDDLE

i have made a fiddle that might suite your case please have a look. You can make some modifications according to your needs.
var currentDiv = 0;
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".container div").click(function(){
$(".container div").eq(currentDiv+1).css( "display", "block" );
currentDiv++;
})
});
JSFIddle Link

Im pretty sure this is what you are looking for.
jQuery
$(".options p").click(function () {
var ourPick = $("p").index(this) + 1;
$(".container div:nth-child(" + ourPick + ")").show();
});
Demo Here
So what we are doing is getting the index for the link pressed and then using that to select the div we want to show (this is using :nth-child()).
Note: I have put a container around the links so you it doesn't pick up every p on the page.
If you want only one at a time you can just set them all to hide before showing one.
jQuery:
$(".options p").click(function () {
var ourPick = $("p").index(this) + 1;
$(".container div").hide();
$(".container div:nth-child(" + ourPick + ")").show();
});
Demo Here

JS FIDDLE DEMO
Explanation
<div class="parentDiv">
<div class="div">1</div>
<div class="div">2</div>
<div class="div">3</div>
<div class="div">4</div>
</div>
<div class="buttons">
<a idx="1">1</a>
<a idx="2">2</a>
<a idx="3">3</a>
<a idx="4">4</a>
</div>
$('.buttons a').click(
function(event)
{
var idx = $(event.target).attr('idx');
$('.div').hide(); //Hides all the divs
$('.parentDiv div:nth-child('+idx+')').show(); // Shows required div
}
);
DISADVANTAGE
If you will insert more contents, there is more work. Else no problem..
If you insert a div , you have to change all the links.
<div class="parentDiv">
<div class="div">1</div>
<div class="div">2.0 Inserted Div</div>
<div class="div">2</div>
<div class="div">3</div>
<div class="div">4</div>
</div>
<div class="buttons">
<a idx="1">1</a>
<a idx="2">2.0</a>
<a idx="3">2</a>
<a idx="4">3</a>
<a idx="5">4</a>
</div>
Not here , All the idx has to be changed. Since my code uses nth-child property

targeting a div in an ocean of nested dynamically added divs

I'm using the liferay framework and I need to add a JavaScript detected inline height to a very very specific div in my page. The problem is I need to target it going through an unknown number of dynamically added divs with dynamically added classes and IDs. To complicate this even further, the divs are randomly siblings or nested in each other.
Here's what it looks like:
<div class="known-class">
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated"></div>
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated">
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated">
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated"></div>
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated">
<div class="DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET">this is the div i need to Target with my css/javascript</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
obviously I can't target it simply with
function resize() {
var heights = window.innerHeight;
jQuery('.DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET').css('height', heights + "px");
}
resize();
Because that class is present elsewhere, I would rather target it with something like.
jQuery('.known-class .DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET')
Which obviously doesn't work because there's a ton of other divs in the middle and my div is not a child of ".known-class"
I was asking myself if there was any jQuery that could help. Something like:
Catch any div with .DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET class that is "generically" inside another div that has .known-class
Is this possible? thanks a lot for your help!

Something like this would work:
// this will target the known-class and find all children with DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET
$('div.known-class').find('div.DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET');
// this will target the known-class and find the first DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET
$('div.known-class').find('div.DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET').first();
$('div.known-class').find('div.DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET:first');
$('div.known-class').find('div.DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET:eq(0)');
$('div.known-class').find('div.DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET').eq(0);

You can try in your css file
.known-class div div div div{}
The last div being the DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET

Assuming that you are adding the divs starting from the outer to the inner
Assign an equal name plus a number starting from 1
<div class="known-class">
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated" id="dynamicdiv1"></div>
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated" id="dynamicdiv2">
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated" id="dynamicdiv3">
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated" id="dynamicdiv4"></div>
<div class="unknown dynamicallygenerated" id="dynamicdiv5">
<div class="DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET" id="dynamicdiv6"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The use jQuery [.each][1] to loop through all the divs on the document
$( document.body ).click(function() {
$( "div" ).each(function( i ) {
if ( this.style.color !== "blue" ) {
this.style.color = "blue";
} else {
this.style.color = "";
}
});
});
When you reach the last item in numeric order. (you can use any split function) add the attributes to that div

you need to select last div inside the known-class:
$('.known-class').find('div:last').css('background', 'Red')
OR if you want to select all the .known-class :
$('.known-class').each(function() {$(this).find('div:last').css('background', 'Red')});

Actually your selector works just fine:
$('.known-class .DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET')
With a space, selectors will find any descendant.
The search is only limited to direct descendants (immediate children) if you use the > operator.
So $('.known-class > .DIV-I-WANT-TO-TARGET') would not find what you wanted.

Traversing DOM from span in / out of divs

I'm adding a click event to a span that is within a div. The target of this event, which will become visible, is a first div that is within a div, two divs down. How can I traverse the DOM to find it?
Perhaps it'll be clearer with the code:
<div a>
<h2>
<span id="here">Click</span>
</h2>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div class="targetDiv">This is the div we need to find</div>
<div class="targetDiv">There are other divs with the same id, but we don't need to find those</div>
<div class="targetDiv">Not looking for this one </div>
<div class="targetDiv">Or this one either</div>
</div>
I've searched left and right and cannot find an answer. It's important to restrict the event ONLY to the first div immediately after the span.
Any help would be much appreciated.

As shown, the code would look like this:
$('span#here').on('click', function() {
$(this).closest('div').siblings(':contains(.targetDiv)').children().eq(0).show();
}

Here's a sample of the fish we caught
$(function() {
$('#here').on('click', function() {
var div = $(this) //the element clicked
.closest('div') //find nearest parent div
.nextAll(':eq(1)') //find the second next div
.children(':eq(0)') //find the first child of it
.show(); //remove invisible cloak
});
});​

This works. I provided an example you can just save to a html file and test it yourself
<style>
.targetDiv{display:none;}
</style>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#here').click(function(){
$('.targetDiv').first().show(); // or whatever you want
});
});
</script>
<div a>
<h2>
<span id="here">Click</span>
</h2>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div class="targetDiv">This is the div we need to find</div>
<div class="targetDiv">There are other divs with the same id, but we don't need to find those</div>
<div class="targetDiv">Not looking for this one </div>
<div class="targetDiv">Or this one either</div>
</div>
