I am probably looking at this the wrong way, but I am having trouble locating an element within my page and am hoping someone can help.
The scenario is this:
I have a <ul> containing a number of <li>'s which in turn contain <a href>'s. I am getting the value of the rel attribute of the clicked <a href> and want to replace the text in a <span class='someclass'> which is located in a parent container. There may be more than one of these <span class='someclass'> on the page so I need to find the closest one.
Here is how my HTML looks
<h3 class="my-header-class">
<span class="some-class">Title Text</span>
</h3>
<ul class="tabs">
<li><a rel="Title Text 1" href="#tab1">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a rel="Title Text 2" href="#tab2">Link 2</a></li>
<li><a rel="Title Text 3" href="#tab3">Link 3</a></li>
</ul>
Here is my javascript
var titletext = $(this).attr('rel');
var container = $(this).parent().children(".some-class");
container.text(titletext);
The titletext variable is being set with the correct text but I am unable to replace the text of the <span class='someclass'>. I assume because I am not finding it correctly.
Thanks,
Tristan
$(this).parent().parent().prev().children(".some-class");
<h3> <!-- PREV OF UL -->
<span> <!-- CHILDREN OF H3 -->
<ul> <!-- PARENT OF <LI> AND <A> -->
<li> <!-- PARENT OF <A> AND CHILDREN OF <UL> -->
<a> <!-- CHILDREN OF <UL> AND <LI> -->
$(this).parent().parent().prev('h3').children(".some-class")
$("ul.tabs a").click(function() {
var titletext = $(this).attr('rel');
$(this).closest("ul.tabs").prev().find(".some-class").text(titletext);
});

I am struggling with jquery a little. I have an unordered list that looks like this.
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Test</li>
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Archive</li>
<ul>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld.docx</div>
<div class="size">11.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-12 09:31:34</div>
</li>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld1.docx</div>
<div class="size">12.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-11 09:31:34</div>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
Which looks like this
Folder: Test
Folder : Archive
HelloWorld.docx
11.79kiB
2021-01-12 09:31:34
HelloWorld1.docx
12.79kiB
2021-01-11 09:31:34
When I click on any of the li's with the class of "file" I want to look back and work out what the path structure is by finding the parent li's that have the class "folder".
I have tried various combinations but cannot get it
This is what I am working with at the moment
$(document.body).on('click',"li.file",function (e) {
console.log("clicked");
$(this).parents("li.folder").each(function() {
console.log($(this).text());
});
});
Ultimately i want to get back a full path with the parent folder and the filename in a variable.
e.g. pathtofile = /Test/Archive/HelloWorld.docx
Here is a jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/e5d7bcyz/
Thanks
Before approaching your question you first need to correct the HTML. ul elements cannot be children of other ul elements. You need to wrap the ul within their associated li.
You will also need to wrap the folder names in another element, such as a span, in order for the text to be easily retrievable. This would be possible with your current HTML by trawling through text nodes, however that is messy code to write and very brittle. A simple HTML change is the best approach there.
Finally, you can loop through the parent li elements of the clicked .file and reverse their order to get the path in the right format. From there you can append the filename of the selected file. Try this:
$.fn.reverse = [].reverse;
$(document).on('click', "li.file", function(e) {
let $file = $(this);
let $path = $file.parent().parents('li').reverse();
let path = $path.map((i, el) => $(el).children('span').text().trim()).get();
path.push($file.children('.filename').text().trim());
console.log(path.join('/'));
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
<li class="folder">
<span>Test</span>
<ul>
<li class="folder">
<span>Archive</span>
<ul>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld.docs</div>
<div class="size">11.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-12 09:31:34</div>
</li>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld1.docs</div>
<div class="size">12.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-11 09:31:34</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Well, the LI you're looking for are not really the parents as they're not wrapping the current li.file element.
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Archive</li> // You close the LI tag. So it's not a parent of the rest of the code.
<ul>
<li class="file">
Try to wrap the rest of the code with the LI tag:
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Test
<ul>
<li class="folder">Folder: Archive
<ul>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld.docx</div>
<div class="size">11.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-12 09:31:34</div>
</li>
<li class="file">
<div class="filename">HelloWorld1.docx</div>
<div class="size">12.79kiB</div>
<div class="date">2021-01-11 09:31:34</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li> //closing the second parent: Folder: Archive
</ul>
</li> //closing the first parent: Folder: test
</ul>
As far as I know it's valid HTML code.
And then those li.folder elements would be actually parents.
I have some divs on a page in this order as below. When someone clicks a link inside the UL .list-links I want to capture the value of
<span class="asa_portlet_title">Title here</span>
in a variable. I've tried using siblings and closest but it always returns empty.
--
<div class="my_portlet" style="display:none;">
<span class="asa_portlet_title">Title here</span>
</div>
<div class="links">
<div class="">
<ul class="list-links">
<li class="margin-bottom-medium">
Link name
Link name
Link name
Link name
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
--
$('[ul.list-links a').click(function() {
var _portletTitle = $(this).siblings('.my_portlet').text();
});
Open to pure javascript method as well. Basically I have a number of divs on the page containing links, and those divs have another div above it where the title exists
Would anyone be able to put together a small working sample?
You are not trying to get the siblings, you are trying to get the sibling of the parent .links of this.
Also you have to prevent the default action of the a element. You can do that by calling preventDefault() on the event object.
$('ul.list-links a').click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var _portletTitle = $(this).closest('.links').prev('.my_portlet').text();
console.log(_portletTitle);
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="my_portlet" style="display:none;">
<span class="asa_portlet_title">Title here</span>
</div>
<div class="links">
<div class="">
<ul class="list-links">
<li class="margin-bottom-medium">
Link name
Link name
Link name
Link name
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="my_portlet" style="display:none;">
<span class="asa_portlet_title">Title here 2</span>
</div>
<div class="links">
<div class="">
<ul class="list-links">
<li class="margin-bottom-medium">
Link name 2
Link name 2
Link name 2
Link name 2
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
I want to move some span elements to closest div. I found the solution to my problem but it does not work for me. I have some Html code:
<ul>
<li>
<a><span>Some info</span></a>
</li>
<div class="cl1">...</div>
<li>
<a><span>Some info 2</span><a>
</li>
<div class="cl1">
...
</div>
...
</ul>
and to move <span> like this:
$('span').each(function () {
$(this).parent().parent().closest('.cl1').append(this);
})
but nothing happened. Any help would certainly be appreciated
you can't put a div in a ul, only li's.
your html has to be valid (a's, ul need to be closed)
Closest searches anscetors, not siblings.
since your markup is not valid as is, i'm not sure if you want the divs in the list or not. This example removes them from the lis, which breaks the list into two lists.
$('button').click(function() {
$('span').each(function() {
var $div = $(this).closest('ul').siblings('.cl1');
$(this).clone().appendTo($div);
$(this).remove();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
<li>
<a><span>Some info</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="cl1">...</div>
<ul>
<li>
<a><span>Some info 2</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="cl1">...</div>
<button>Do Stuff</button>
I'm really new to Jquery and was trying to figure out why my JQuery code that I got from another user will not work when I place the id attribute in the ol tag but works fine when the id attribute is placed in the nav tag. If some one can be so kind to explain this problem to me thanks.
HTML
<nav id="cat">
<ol>
<li><a title="" href="#1">1;</a></li>
<li><a title="" href="#2">2</a></li>
</ol>
</nav>
<!-- DOES NOT WORK -->
<nav class="sub">
<ol id="1">
<li><a title="" href="">1a</a></li>
</ol>
</nav>
<!-- WORKS -->
<nav class="sub" id="2">
<ol>
<li><a title="" href="">2a</a></li>
</ol>
</nav>
JQuery
var $subs = $('.sub');
$('#cat > ol > li > a').click(function() {
var href = $(this).attr('href'),
$target = $(href);
$target.stop().slideToggle('slow');
$subs.not($target).stop().slideUp('slow');
});
Here is the fiddle
enter link description here
Moving id=1 onto the child ol means that the ol is no longer also a .sub. you need to move both ids to the child ols and then update the $sub selector to be .sub > ol

Add this parameter to your onctext() call, so your menu items look like so:
<a class='link3' href="#third" onclick="onctext(this);">CSS, Appreciation - Metrics</a>
And then change your onctext function to retrieve the text from this:
function onctext(elm) {
var text = elm.innerHTML;
document.getElementById("crumb").innerHTML = text;
// set active class
var active = document.getElementsByClassName('active')[0];
if (active) {
active.className = active.className.replace(' active', '');
}
elm.className += ' active';
}
