Re: [jQuery] how to find an item when you only know part of the class name

2007-03-03 Thread John Resig 
I'm not sure what the issue is that you're referring to, I just ran
the test and it seems to work as you would expect it to: Clicking the
link strikes out the line:
http://john.jquery.com/ticket/td-attr/

Isn't there another aspect at play here?

My first recommendation would be to change:
 var parentDiv = $(this).parents([EMAIL PROTECTED]);

to:
 var parentDiv = $(this).parents(div:first);

And see if that helps anything - you may be, simply, selecting too
many parent elements.

   Not sure if the source is like this too, but you haven't closed this
   element (insert a /a):
 
   a href='#' class=toggleStrikeRemove/a /td
 
   Maybe, that'll help?

 You can reference any attribute using the following notation:
   
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Starts with
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ends with
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] equals
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] contains
   
 So for your problem...
   
 $([EMAIL PROTECTED])

 What is the easiest way to get a reference to this cell?

   I appreciate your reply.  I'm still not finding the element, and I

   $(document).ready(

   var parentDiv =
   $(this).parents([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
   alert(parentDiv[0].id);

   var newDecor = textDecor == line-through
 none : line-through;
   tdElt.css('text-decoration',
   newDecor);
   });
   }
   )
 
   and a sample HTML div would be
 
   div id=toc25 class=tocItem15-2
   style=display:block; margin-left:30px
   div style=display:blocktable
   tr
   td/td
   td
   style=text-decoration:none class=title3Lesson 1 Core Ancient
   Americans/td
   tda class=readMore
   href='#'Read/a/td
 
   tda href='#'
   class=toggleStrikeRemove/td
   /tr
   /table/div
   /div
 
   The first alert displays the correct value, but the second alert displays
   a blank box and subsequently everything in the highest level table gets a
   strike through it when I just want this one cell.

 That was indeed a problem.  Sadly, even after I remedied that, I still get 
 the same result -- the second alert shows a blank value and the entire table 
 gets a line through it.

Re: [jQuery] how to find an item when you only know part of the class name

You can reference any attribute using the following notation:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Starts with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ends with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] equals
[EMAIL PROTECTED] contains

So for your problem...

$([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Hope this helps,
