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);
    });

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
