Repeated ids

in Using jQuery • 2 years ago

Hi, just a little question, let´s supose that I load an html into a div1 element and after that, I load the same html into a div2.

In this html I have an element called "myElement".

How to reference each one individually ?

On a page, all the id's have to be unique.

Assuming that you're able to give each of your div's a separate ID, for example's sake:

$('#div1 #myElement') would give a reference to your myElement inside the div with id="div1"

$('#div2 #myElement') would give a reference to your myElement inside the div with id="div2"

Use classes instead, and then use their parent's id to reference them.

<div id="div1">
<div class="myElement"> loaded content </div>
</div>
<div id="div2">
<div class="myElement"> loaded content </div>
</div>
$('#div1 .myElement') will refer to the first :)

Hi suhajdab, this works.

What I have to do if the div1 or div2 is in a variable, for example: myParentContainer ?

Thanks.

$(myParentContainer).find('.myElement')

I found another way:

$(".myElement", $(myParentContainer))

I tried you suggestion to find an child inside myParentContainer, like this:

$(myParentContainer).find('myGrid'), but this don´t seans to work. So I make:

$(myParentContainer.children[1])

There is another way ?

if myGrid is a class, you're missing the point

$(myParentContainer).find('.myGrid')

No, in this case myGrid is another element.

I forgot the "#" sign:

$(myParentContainer).find('#myGrid')

Everything works, until now.. :)
