I have the following code: $('select.interest').change(function(){
var value = $(this + 'option:selected').text();
console.log(value);
)};
I just want to get the text of the select element I just changed. However, this is returning the text of the selected value of ALL the select elements on my page.
Is there a way (selector) that would allow me to select an element by exact mach of containing text. example:
<div> This is some text </div> <div> This </div> Lets say i want to select only the second div $("div:contains('This')")...
okay, it would select it, but...it would also select the first one. I could iterate through each div and check if the text is matching but that's kinda dirty way of doing this. Is there any selector which would allow me to do this without iteration?
I have developed my own tools for serializing form data for asynchronous calls to the server (AJAX). I have consider many times that it would be useful that when a select element has both text and option values to send both values to the server. I have thought about a couple of different ways of doing this. But first let me give an example so that there is less chance of misunderstanding.Suppose I have a drop-down list that is a select element with an option list wherein each member of the option list has both a value and a text string. as in Code:
I've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:
<head> $(function() { //function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....
On page load it will evaluate this drop-down and repopulate it determined on their values. If there is an S in any of the values the drop-down will generate an option for 'S' like so.. <option value="s">S Option Text</option> And for the first code example in this post - the Javascript would be able to repopulate the drop-down with the following:
I'm having some problems understanding the append() function. What I'd like to do is select an element using it's ID and add a row to the table with a HTML form element. The table is dynamically generated using a Django template ( form.as_table() ) so I'm not able to alter the original HTML markup too much.
I'm doing a very simple expand/collapse function using 'slideToggle'. The button that triggers this event simply says 'Expand/collapse'. I want this text to change depending on whether an element is visible or hidden.
Is this possible with JQuery? I have the following code which I think Should do this, but it's not working :/These are two different functions which I've been testing, and the html element is supposed to create a dropdown list via some PHP which will have the option "Other" within it. Unfortunately, I have no idea exactly how to turn "Other" into a text box when the user clicks, and I've been spending a lot of time on this already.
I have a javascript tool in which I can supply a listener function, which has the parameter 'div', which is a dom element. Now I would like to apply $('a.enlargement').fancyzoom({Speed:0,showoverlay:true}); to that div, but I only have the reference. I know about the 'find' function, but that can only be run on a selection object. So how can I do this?
I have a page with various elements, some visible, some invisible, as they become visible depending on user input.I am looking to select the visible elements, then within that collection, get the last element in the flow and manipulate it.
I have a standard menu structured with an unordered list. Some of the items in the menu have sub items, but are not themselves links. Here's an example:
How do I select a tag that does (or does not) have a particular attribute? In my case, I want to be able to select all <a> tags in #mainMenu that do not have the href attribute.
I know you can use :even or :odd to get the even or odd indexes from a set, or :lt/:gt to filter down the matched set before/beyond the specified index. But what if I want to select every 5th element? And I know it's not nth-child, because that selects everything that is the nth-child of it's parent and not if it is one of the nth elements in the matched set. Is the only way to use .each(function (index) {...}); and then check if the index makes that element one of the nth items?
I'm trying to update a script I found out there in order to fit better my needs. The first step I want to update is the capability to bind a dynamic number of anchors.
I want to insert something after #close, but only if the following div content contains the references-container4.Nothing will be inserted here. Only in the references-container4 case.
Is it possible to extend jquery to include a function that will select elements with focus. In the same way :input selects all inputs :selected selects all selected etc but instead :focus or focused: which would select the focused element. I have a table which includes an input field on each row (like a simple datagrid). Id like to be able to hit an access key and delete the row (input textbox) which has focus ie the row which the cursor has been placed in.
I found this but it selects the first input textbox only for some reason?... and not the one with focus. $.extend($.expr[':'], { focused: function(elem) { return elem.hasFocus; } }); var id = $('input :focused').val(); console.log(id);
matchwdth() is a function that makes all elements passed to it the same width (that of the widest element).so if there are two div.row each with multiple div.cell children, I want to make div.row[0] div.cell[0] the same with as div.row[1] div.cell[0], AND div.row[0] div.cell[1] the same with as div.row[1] div.cell[1] etc etc
problem is with this line
Code:
var _cell = _row.find('div.cell').eq(_item);
that seems to only pick up the div.cell elements in the first parent div.row - subsequent div.row's are ignored.if I do an alert on (_cell.length) I get 1 (even when there are multiple div.rows)
