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

Re: [jQuery] how to find an item when you only know part of the class name
Not sure if the source is like this too, but you haven't closed this element
(insert a ):
Remove
Maybe, that'll help?

I appreciate your reply. I'm still not finding the element, and I wanted
to ask what I was doing wrong. The JS is
$(document).ready(
function () {
$('a.toggleStrike').click( function() {
var parentDiv =
$(this).parents("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
alert(parentDiv[0].id);
var tdElt = parentDiv.find
("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
alert(tdElt[0].id);
var textDecor = tdElt.css
('text-decoration');
var newDecor = textDecor == "line-through"
? "none" : "line-through";
tdElt.css('text-decoration', newDecor);
});
}
)
and a sample HTML div would be
Lesson 1 Core Ancient
Americans
Read
Remove
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,
