JQuery :: Sorting A Nested Loop Of Unordered Lists?
Jan 20, 2011
What I have is a dynamically created group of unordered lists. My jQuery code allows the user to "add" forms that essentially create a new unordered list per form. The first list item is displayed in a heading 2 tag strictly for the style formatting the h2 tag gives.
The user enters data in the forms which are then passed via url.data method to my action page. This is where my code loops(nested loop) through the lists, inserts the appropriate items in either the heading 2 tag or the rest of the list item tags. Then this(these) lists are saved in a temporary file and then called and displayed back by way of an include. The problem is I want these lists to be sorted alphabetically. I have a function that I am close to getting it working, but the problem I think is the fact that I have the special "first" list item within a heading tag.
Here is the function:
var items = [];
$('li').each(function() {
items.push($(this).text());
I have some code that creates form fields as needed, then the once the user inputs data the values are stored in my action page as an unordered list. The list is then displayed back on my page with an ajax call. All this works fine, but now I wanted and need to have the lists sorted alphabetically. I actually found a thread here and some code someone posted to do this. I thought at first it worked, but it seems to be if'y. Maybe it has to do with the order in which I might add an item to my form. I also wanted to sort by more than the first letter. When I thought, and Im pretty sure it was, working, it seemed it only sorted up to the first letter. Ex:
I've got an unordered lists. I need to make the numbers larger (ordered lists numbers) and keep the text in the list at the same size. So what I was assuming I need to do is make the <li> font-size larger (the size I want the unordered list number to be), then wrap the text with a <span> and make the <span> smaller. I'm using a CMS and since the client will be modifying the text in the CMS, I can't exactly tell them to put <span> text, blah, blah</span> in the unordered lists as they won't figure that out. So how would I write the jQuery to wrap the text in the unordered lists with a span? Currently the output is like so:
I am really stumped on how to use jquery to code this. I looked at a lot of different slider plugins for jquery and I easySlider1.7 uses lists for the sliding effect so that is what I want to use. But I am having problems with creating the nested list slider. It's really hard to explain what I want so I created this.
Here is my list that I want to use for my navigation idea.
So my problem is that I've got a main navigation with a dropdown menu underneath "products". I positioned the dropdown menu, set it to display: none, then wrote jQuery to slideToggle the menu when a particular LI is hovered over. The issue is that when I hover over the "Products" LI and try to hover over the dropdown, it disappears because I'm no longer hovering over that LI.
You're probably thinking "Just make nested lists!!!!". Well, I don't want to. I've got some jQuery being applied to the main navigation that I don't want to effect the dropdown. I just want a way to be sure the dropdown is open when the mouse is hovered over either the main LI or the dropdown UL and that the dropdown is closed when the mouse is hovered over neither.
In my code I've tried to make it so that if the mouse is over the dropdown UL it stays open, but the mouse leaving the LI trumps that maybe? HELP PLEASE! My HTML and jQuery is below.
Basically i need the menu to be collapsed to the first level initially. So only the User, Admin and Company User links are visible.
When these 1st level menu items are clicked the 2nd level sub menus need to be displayed when navigated to the 1st level index page and so on for the third level menus.
I need to be able to remember the location as well so the menu stays open on the correct page.
The annoying thing is that if i was allowed to do this in Coldfusion this would only take me a little while but i don't know much JavaScript therefore am a bit stuck. I am not allowed to use libraries either such as JQuery, MooTools
Another challenge is to style the 'active' link locations.
When you are at the first level the class of the anchor needs to be selected_bg.
When in a sub of said first level the class of that selected anchor needs to be selected_bg and the first level needs to change to selected.
For the third level both the above stays the same but then the third level takes the class of selectorThird when active.
i have a nested loop in Javascript and i have a break statement in inner loop. As break statement takes control come out of inner loop. I want to come out of both loops if break statement reaches in inner loop. is there any way to do that ??
this is code for a conway's game of life. the nested loop on stepGen() doesnt work and i cant figure out what it is. no syntax errors, or anything. i put alert statements to see whats happening. i can provide the rest of the code if necessary.[code]
I'm fairly new to JQuery but can generally feel my way around. Would it be possible to alphabetize an unordered list when a page loads? i know this is kind of 'contrary' to the definition of unordered but it would seem like something JQuery could do. For example, if I had the following list coded into a page,
This is myI use the jQuery.load() function to load content from a page that should get in an <ul> element.At the moment the file contains plain text, and it works, but when i put the content in <li> elements it stops working.
I have the following DOM structure (unordered list), that I would like to sort on the a href tag name using jQuery – specifically the TinySort plug-in [URL] Structure is as follows:
If I have the following: <div class="jcarousel-clip jcarousel-clip-horizontal" style="width: 459px; height: 220px;"> <ul id="mycarousel" class="jcarousel-list jcarousel-list- horizontal" style="height: 220px; width: 918px; left: 0px;"> <li class="jcarousel-item jcarousel-item-horizontal jcarousel- item-1 jcarousel-item-1-horizontal" jcarouselindex="1"></li> <li class="jcarousel-item jcarousel-item-horizontal jcarousel- item-2 jcarousel-item-2-horizontal" jcarouselindex="2"></li> <li class="jcarousel-item jcarousel-item-horizontal jcarousel- item-3 jcarousel-item-3-horizontal" jcarouselindex="3"></li> </ul></div> Trying to figure out how I can do a .each on each <li> and then add an additional style to the last <li> in the list.
I want to modify the appearance of an unordered list by assigning a value to each list item and then setting the custom properties for each list item. At first I was thinking of assigning a number to each list item and then controlling it's properties via that number.But now I'm wondering if jQuery can do a search for the list items content.
I have nested unordered list I need to display as horizontal menus below each other.
[Code]...
And when I click on a Menu 2 submenu is shown for it. And hides Menu 1 submenus. The problem is I need this for multilevel. The result in the will be end showing div's below the menu.
I'm setting up a web page and think jQuery will be able to sort this out for me.
I have an unordered list (5 items so far, but a few more may need to be added). On clicking on any of the items I need three things to happen on the page:
1. place a picture into a div 2. place a caption into another div 3. place a title into a third div
Clicking on a second item needs to hide these and show that item's related three bits.
So, is jQuery/javascript my best tool, how I can achieve it?
I have an unordered list that I am using as a menu. This list contains sub lists.
I found out how to get the index of the primary unordered list item that is being hovered but I am not getting the syntax correct to reference the individual items of this listto get the HTML, the position, height and lengthof this item.
$(" #nav li").hover(function(){ // Locate the index of the singular list item that is being hovered var index = $(this).parent().children('li').index(this); // This is incorrect var $itemObject = $(this).parent().children('li')[index];
I use unordered list item (<ul>) to replace select type <select> (select) in my form. I have problem on bind the value after submit the form. Because <ul> is not a form element. May i know how should I overcome it?
What i intend to do is similar effect as google contact book: 1. User click ADD button, then <ul> and <textbox> will be appended into the form. 2. After form submitted, user can see what are the value he has entered earlier. I can bind the textbox, post the unorder list item with hidden element. but i have no clue how to bind the unordered list item..
Kindly refer to my code as below. It is working except cannot bind unordered list item... p/s: I am using PHP + JQuery.
