JQuery :: Possible To Use Variable In Selector?

Sep 25, 2010

Is it possible to use a variable in a selector? So instead of this:
$("#slider img").hide();

I want something like this
var wrapper = "#slider";
$(wrapper + " img").hide();

But this is just giving me this error:
uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [object Object]

JQuery :: $("selector" - Code) And .html() - Load Div In A Variable - Modify It In Another Variable And Then Change The Document Injecting The Contents

Dec 13, 2011

I want to load an html div in a variable, modify it in another variable; and then change the document injecting the contents.

1. I load the html to be changed in a variable (code)
2. I modify an attribute of <param> using attr() and I put the result in a var (newcode)
3. I change the html in the doc

I've used the debugger, and all steps give the expected results, except of newcode.html(), which is a null string. Why?

JQuery :: Getting A Variable Out Of A Selector?

Jun 3, 2011

The following code works:

$('#prov_1 .toggleEdit').click(function () {
$('#prov_1 .editable').toggle();
});
When I click on the "toggleEdit" button under #prov_1, the .editable elements in #prov_1 appear/disappear.
Now I want to do this for all prov_N.
$('#prov_' + pid + ' .toggleEdit').click(function () {
$('#prov_' + pid + ' .editable').toggle();
});

does not work. How do I extract or define N, the pid number?

JQuery :: Adding Variable To Selector Id?

Dec 10, 2010

Basically I have a carousel, and when an item is hovered on, it's corresponding titles needs to show up below. I've managed to get a very inefficient version this working by repeating the function with the explicit id for the list item, but I'd like to get this working in a more automated fashion by assigning a variable that can be used with both the list item id and the paragraph id. I'm not sure if index() is the best way to go about this, or how to actually add the variable to the id's.

The HTML --
<div id="carousel_holder">
<ul id="carousel">

JQuery :: Passing A Variable To A Selector?

Dec 3, 2010

function findDivs(id)
{
$('div[id~="' + id + ''"]').innerHTML = "insert this text into div's with id that contains the variable: id";

So the selector i am using isn't working. I'm pretty new to jQuery so the selector may be completely off.

JQuery :: Using The Siblings Selector With A Variable?

Sep 14, 2011

I have a table where I hide a table row when the listen "item" is deleted. The item is deleted via jquery ajax. When the delete button is pressed, I call a plugin that creates a confirmation box. The plugin is passed a function to perform if 'Yes' is pressed.

[Code]...

The $(hideThis).hide(); line works. The tr is hidden from view. The next line is where I'm stuck. I know that how it is currently set up would never work, but looking at this will help you understand what I need to do. I want to edit the classes of all the tr tags that follow the one I just hid.

Here's the issue. I cannot just call the tr tag the same way I did to set the variable since I am no longer working in the same scope. And if I were to use this script the way it is written, the element it is looking for for the each statement is "[object] [object] ~ .lineItem".

JQuery :: Defining Dynamic Selector With Variable?

May 20, 2010

How can I dynamically specify a class value to use in a selector? For instance, I have a number, and I need to identify an element that ends with that number. In this case, there are four divs that have class values of

my_id_0
my_id_1
my_id_2
my_id_3

I have a 0 (obtained previously in the code) stored in the value tabId, so I want to get the values of the class attribute for <div id="my_id_0">. How do I create my selector? I tried

$("div# parent_element_id #my_id_" + tabId).attr("class");

but it comes back as undefined. Do I need to define it as a variable and put it in theelector that way? Or is there another way?

JQuery :: Attribute Selector As Variable Not Working?

Dec 15, 2009

Here's what I hope to be a quick question that I should be able to figure out myself... but, unfortunately, I can't...I'm trying to pass a variable into the attribute selector. When I substitute the "+myHref+" for "http", I get a match. When I log the myHref var, I get a match. What's wrong with my syntax? Why isn't the myLink finding a match?

JQuery :: Using Attribute Selector With .load() Or Variable?

Oct 5, 2010

I try to load specific text from a page into a string. When I'm on the specific page I can do this as follows: var wantedText = $("td > span[style='color: #00AA00; font-weight: bold;']").text();But I want to get this text from another webpage using AJAX, I tried using .load() as follows:

$('#somediv').load(Url+" td > span"); //this loads 3 spans into #somediv (including the one I need)
$('#somediv').load(Url+" td > span[style='color: #00AA00; font-weight: bold;']"); //this does nothing
I also tried loading the entire page into a string using .ajax() like this:

JQuery :: Using The Child Selector, With Class As A Variable?

Apr 15, 2011

What is the syntax for accessing the children of a class, where the class is a variable?The html structure is multiple divs like this:

<div class="class1 class2 class3">
<p class="x"> lorem</p>
<p class="y"> ipsum</p>
<p class="z"> yadda</p>
</div>

(There's a structural reason for accessing the child <p> tags, rather than just the parent <div>s. Some <p> tags in some<div>swill have previously had a style change applied: if the changes are now applied only to the parents, some children won't changeā€¦ at least not till they're hidden).Anyway: this code doesn't work, doesn't generate a FF error message, and doesn't stop subsequent chained functions from operating. So it can't be far off; and the syntax$(cl + ' > p') works ok in another function.

JQuery :: Passing A Variable To A Selector: Syntax Error

Jul 13, 2011

I'm passing a variable to a selector. I have found a few resources and tried to implement them but they're just not working for me. I am trying to find href that match my variable and am working with the following:

var itemLink = /site/Mario-Kart..etc.
$("a[href=" + itemLink + "]").......etc.

I receive an error "Uncaught Syntax Error unrecognized expression: [href=/site/Mario-Kart..etc. ]" I have been placing the quotes in different places to correct the syntax but to no avail. Also, this works with JQuery v1.44 and earlier but not after.

Pass Id Selector Content To A Variable?

Jul 16, 2011

Can I pass the content of an id selector to a variable?I am using a jQuery plugin which passes some data to an id selector ('#alt-text'). If I create a div tag with that id, the content for ('#alt-text') gets displayed in the div tag- everything fine. However, I need to split the selector (or parse the selector) to the assign different sections of the data to differnt div tags.

can't seem to get this started. If I try:
var xxx = $('#alt-text');
$('#otherDivTag').html(xxx);

it does not work. My desire is to do something like:

var xxx = $('#alt-text');
$('#otherDivTag').html(xxx).text().split(' ')[0];
