short: How do you use the Jquery .load function inside a dynamically generated div, but target a non clicked ID.
The idea is that I have a button that adds new divs every time clicked with "name+(sequential id") using the "$().append()" feature of jquery. Once the Div is added to the page a "$().load()" fills the div with two select boxes and another div.
Once loaded the user is able to use the first select box to select a value.
When value is selected the "$().on('click'" feature in Jquery checks too see if it was first option box is clicked and changed.
At this point after the first option box is selected and changed a "().load()" is used to update "#ajax-load-1" div surrounding the second option box. This is where i cannot get the ".load" to see the ID of the div.
I have done many a search and come up empty handed, a lot of tutorials on how to use .on("click" to get a ID of an element that was dynamically generated but not one that wasn't clicked.
Here is a simplified example of the code described above.
Html:
<!-- |This box has been dynamically generated and named through a Jquery .load() | -->
<div id="dynamic-box-1">
<select id="select-1">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
</select>
<!-- | div to be .load()'ed after an option is selected in #select-1 |-->
<div id="ajax-load-1">
<select id="ajax-select-1">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<!-- | End of dynamic box | -->
Jquery
$("#select-1").on("click", function(){
$("#select-1").change(function(){
$("#ajax-load-1").load("../php/ajax-load-1.php");
});
});
Try using event delegation
Replace
$("#select-1").change(function(){
with
$(document).on('change', '#select-1', function(){
And remove the click event encasing it.
If the HTML
you have provided is the one you expect to see in the application. then you can get the id
of the div with something like this
$(document).on('change', '#select-1', function(){
var divId = $(this).next('div').attr('id');
$("#" + divId ).load("../php/" + divId + '"php");
});
