[jQuery] Re: first child

2009-04-09 Thread bart 

Thank you all very much for replying. Mauricio's code worked for me :)

var el = $('#continer *:first').is('h2');
alert(el); // returns true if first child is H2, false otherwise

Again, thanks! :)

This will return the tag name of a container's first child:

$('#container  *')[0].tagName;

Hope it's useful!

 Hello all,

 Let's say I'd have a div#content and I'd like to figure out what the
 first child of this div is. It could be an anchor, a paragraph, a
 heading who knows... I know the :first-child selector but this doesn't
 do what I want to accomplish as it just filters within the matched
 selector for the first child.

 Ultimately I'd like to figure out what element this first-child is. I
 can do this with .is() right?

 var $el = xx.is('h2'); //if it indeed matches a h2, returns true?

 Anyone willing to help out?

Thanks Jason :-)

How would I handle that if the #elHombre object is inside the form?

Cheers,
Dug

  Hi guys,

  I've got:

  $('#elHombre').focus();

  Which sets focus to a legend at the top of a form.

  I'd like to do:

  $('#elHombre').next-instance-of-tag-of-type==inputORtextareaORselect.focus();

  The page is set to scroll to the elHombre anchor. The focus needs to
  be set to thefirstform control that follows the anchor. For example:

  p id=elHombre
  This is the introduction/p
  form
  label
  Your name:
  input type=text //label
  /form

  The script would set the focus to the text input box.

  Thanks all :-)

  Best,

On second thought, you'll want to use .find, instead of .children, as the
elements could likely be within fieldsets and/or divs:

$('form:has(#elHombre)').find('input, select, textarea')[0].focus();

Also, here's another way to get the form from the #elHombre:

$('#elHombre').parents('form:first').find('input, select,
textarea')[0].focus();
