fetch the hidden text and put it within a div tag



When an anchor tag is clicked, "anotherDiv" is made visible.





Using jQuery, I want to be able to fetch the description within each li onClick of the anchor tag and insert it into the "anotherDiv" area which is also visible onClick of an anchor tag. The description text is initially set to display none.







<style>

.desc{

display:none;

}



#anotherDiv{

display: none;

}



</style>



<li style="overflow: hidden; float: none; width: 158px; height: 125px;">

<a onClick="return addPlayer(952541791001, 661361792001, 600, 320)" id="no8" class="video-pop">

<img width="132" height="75" alt="" src="image.jpg">

</a>

<div class="label">The label goes here......</div>

<div class="desc">The description goes here.....</div>

</li>

<li style="overflow: hidden; float: none; width: 158px; height: 125px;">

<a onClick="return addPlayer(952541791001, 661361792001, 600, 320)" id="no10" class="video-pop">

<img width="132" height="75" alt="" src="image.jpg">

</a>

<div class="label">The label goes here......</div>

<div class="desc">The description goes here.....</div>

</li>

-------------------------------------------------------------

<div id="anotherDiv"></div>

  1. Try this:
    http://jsfiddle.net/MZga6/

    $('a').bind('click.myClick', function() {
    var that = $(this);
    $('#anotherDiv').text(that.parent().find('.desc').text()).show();

    });

  2. When list item is clicked, get child description. Then insert its html in anotherDiv.

    $('li').click( function() {
    $('#anotherDiv').html($(this).children('.desc').html());
    });

    //a more readable format to help you understand
    $('li').click( function() {
    //$this is the clicked list item. We search its children for class `desc` and get contents
    var desc = $(this).children('.desc').html();
    //set anotherDiv's contents
    $('#anotherDiv').html(desc);
    });

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
