You can't select the 'text' part of an 'a' element with css, e.g. in the statement <a>some text </a> you can't use a css attribute selector a[text = "some text"]{} to style the 'a' element. You can select all named attributes such as HREF, TITLE, etc. Does jquery's .attrib map strictly to the css usage or is there some way I can match on that part of an 'a' element?
I need this because a menu list I'm working with doesn't by default require a TITLE element so I can't assume I can match on this attribute.
I need to select the lowest element containing a given string.The :contains(text) selector returns the element I want but also allits ancestors (since they too contain the text). I haven't been ableto figure out a selector expression that returns only the lowestelement.
I have: <div class="date">21-Mar-11</div> I would like to select only the 21 and then only the "Mar" and replace the content of the div with "Mar 21," or something along those lines. The output is not the problem. I need selecting specific parts of the string. So I want to learn more about selecting specific parts of strings.
I intend to have this code below generated dynamically (being able to have from 12 to 40 rows). (created from C# code)
<tr> <td align="center"> <h2> 01</h2>
[Code].....
Can this jQuery function be created so I can add the function to "#<%= chbNuevoJugXX.ClientID %>" instead of "#<%= chbNuevoJug01.ClientID %>" and then use the XX to how hide the corresponding row?
It's basically just a table containing a message, who wrote it and when.I'm trying to build a function that filters what types of posts are visible in the newsfeed. So by clicking a button I want to be able to filter out the "message"-post or the "sale-alert"-post.Only way I can see which type of post it is, is by looking at the image source in the table. So depending on what that is, I want to set the table to display:none.
But I've been looking into the jquery selector a bit but I can't make it work. I've tried with .each(function and child selector...
This seems to be a peculiarone. Let me set the stage.I am selecting the href inside of ananchortag.I MUST disable all anchor tags inside my div.Here is the problem, I am redirecting old content to new content.I have over 1200 pages all with 1-20 anchor tagsAll of the anchor tags have a regular href url OR a javascript function.It looks like this:"javascript:open_window('detail1.html')"All I want is a way to extract the:detail1.html which can bedetail21.html ordetail.html also (thought about using slice to cut out what I need)
When I click on my h3 tag I would like to do a replace on the next "dframe" element (not all "dframe" elements). I've tried the code below but it doesn't select the next specified element. I guess next() only covers the next sibling?
I need to select a class within an element. the class is generated by the code using .addClass. I suspect this is actually really easy and I'm just being stupid,
I have an autocompleter in which i am trying to grab the text in the first element in a list of returned results from the db. I have been able to grab the first element in the list with the below code however, it brings up an alert for every realtime list that comes back so multiple times. Is there a clever way to make an if/else statement that forces it to alert only once?
var item = $('.title_div:first').text(); alert('this item ' + item + ' is the first to be showed');
This displays OK on my generated page anyway, but later when I want to use a switch statement on the member type it fails because of the spurious stuff I picked up in the variable
I'm trying to add a class to a <li> where the href within it contains a string. I can apply the class to the anchor without a problem, but I can't seem to select the parent. Is an anchor a child? <li><a href="random.xls">Random Stuff</a></li>
In this case, since the href contains .xls, I'd like to be able to add a class to it. I've tried a variety of things, most recently this, but no luck: $('li has(a[href$=".xls"])').addClass('excel');
I'm using a form in several places for this project. I don't want to duplicates of this form so I have it as an include file. Each page requires all the same fields, however, there is one page where I'd like to remove two fields.
Is there a way to remove an input field and it's label by selecting the ID of the input field? I looked at the JQuery doc, and there's a prev + next selector which shows $('label + input').css ... this will set css properties for an input element that follows a label element. something like $('#FirstName > label + input').remove...
I can't figure out how to coax JQuery in to selecting an element that is manually (dynamically) inserted in to the DOM after the page loads. For example: If I have HTML: <div id="bar"> World! </div>
Then I create a new element and insert it in to DOM: var foo = '<div id="foo">Hello</div>'; $("#bar").before($(foo));
I end up with this, which is great: <div id="foo">Hello</div> <div id="bar"> World! </div>
Now that's very nice, but later on I might want to do something different with the element I inserted, using JQuery to manipulate that new element. But if I try to do: myHappyEl = $("#foo"); Then myHappyEl will be undefined. JQuery doesn't see it, presumably because it go attached after JQuery was done watching for such things. How I can coax JQuery in to noticing the existence of new elements created not only in exactly the manner shown here, but in general after the DOM has fully loaded.
I've seen lots of suggestions addressing a possibly related but subtly different issue, wherein the solution is to use .live() to attach an event listener when an element comes in to being. That would be brilliant if I wanted to capture a click event or something, but I don't; I want to be able to select the dynamically added element(s). Perhaps there's a simple way to accomplish this using live(), but I haven't seen it yet. If there is a solution using live then I'd like to know what event and what function to trigger!
After loading a HTML fragment using AJAX, I can not select the newly embedded elements using the $("#id") notation. document.getElementById works fine though.
I am trying to select a div element based on its display property. Due to some reasons I can't use Id to select this element, DIV element is structured like this:
i've been breaking my brain about this issue for a bit now, so here is my question.
I have a SELECT with various OPTIONS
<select id="myselect" name="myselect"> <option value='$variable' >1 - variable ammount of this option</option> <option value='$variable' id="showOption">2 - gets added once at the end of the SELECT</option>
I'm trying to find the currently clicked index of .accordion_trigger from within another element.
When inside the .accordion_trigger click event I can simply do the below to get the current clicked index:
Code: $('.accordion_trigger').click(function(){ var index = $('.accordion_trigger').index(this); } return false; });
Obviously this doesn't work when called from within another element. I understand that 'this' is part of the problem but can't seem to find a way to form the code in such a way for it to produce a valid result. Thus far I only get -1 or 0.
When .accordion_trigger is clicked it has an "$(this).toggleClass('active').next().slideDown();" applied so in theory I shold be able to search for which of the .accordion_trigger's are "active".
I've also tried doing this via the below method but to no avail:
Code: var current = $('.accordion_trigger'); current.each(function() { if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
I'm trying to grab a specific part of a string of text and am wondering how to do it (or if it is possible to do it) with a jQuery selector.Is there any way to get that specific part of the link?
