I have a code with the following DOM Tree:
<div id="blogPagination">
<div class="pagination">
<ul>
<li>
<a href="/2" >1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="/3" >2</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
I'm trying to reach the href of my tag. I can't reach it with anything I tried.
What's the best way to reach it with jQuery ?
I tried:
console.log($('#blogPagination div ul > li a ').attr("href"));
console.log($('#blogPagination > a ').attr("href"));
$('#blogPagination').children('a')
console.log($('#blogPagination div ul li a').attr("href"));
without luck ..
Thanks
EDIT:
After nbrooks's answer, here is what I tried so far:
function bindPagination() {
console.log("bind");
$(function() {
var links = $("#blogPagination ul a").map(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return this.href;
}).get();
console.log(links);
});
EDIT 2 :
Considering Syfaro's answer, I've also tried :
$('#blogPagination').find('a').each(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log($(this).attr('href'));
});
Without luck.
EDIT 3 : I'd like to give more details concerning this function that may have a significant impact after all:
to load this pagination, I'm using Ajax and handlebars wrapped into a document ready function:
$(document).ready(function(){
// Get the customer service stats
var Content = {
init: function() {
/* this.getHomePosts(); */
this.getBlogPosts();
},
getBlogPosts: function(offset) {
if(offset == undefined){
offset = 0;
}
// GET the events with JSON
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {},
url: site_url+"/main/blog/"+offset,
dataType: "json",
success: function(results) {
posts = results["posts"].map(function (blogContent) {
if( blogContent.picture != '' ) {
return {
Title: blogContent.title ,
Picture: Content.urlPostPic + blogContent.picture ,
Video: '' ,
Text: blogContent.text ,
Datetime: blogContent.datetime ,
}
} else {
return {
Title: blogContent.title ,
Picture: '' ,
Video: blogContent.video ,
Text: blogContent.text ,
Datetime: blogContent.datetime ,
}
}
});
pagination = {pagination: results["pagination"]};
var template = Handlebars.compile( $('#templateBlog').html() );
$('#blogPosts').append( template(posts) );
var template = Handlebars.compile( $('#templatePagi').html() );
$('#blogPagination').append( template(pagination) );
// Here we call bindPagination <===
bindPagination();
}
});
},
};
Content.init();
You can see in the get BlogPosts function that I call BindPagination which is supposed to be this function, to prevent default behavior and call the content depending of the offset (pagination system)
function bindPagination() {
console.log("bind");
var links = $("#blogPagination ul a").map(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return this.href;
}).get();
console.log(links);
$('#blogPagination').find('a').each(function(e) {
console.log("clicked !");
e.preventDefault();
console.log($(this).attr('href'));
// var attr = this.attr();
// var id = attr.replace("/","");
// $('#blogPosts').empty();
// $('#blogPagination').empty();
// Content.getBlogPosts(id);
});
}
});
the last }); stand for the end of the document ready.
$('#blogPagination').find('a').attr('href');
This should find all a
elements in the specified area, the get the href
of them, assuming that you've already got jQuery and all that good stuff set up.
If you have multiple a
elements, you could do something like this:
$('#blogPagination').find('a').each(function() {
console.log($(this).attr('href'));
});
This will print out each href
of each a
in that div
.
If you need to prevent the link from changing the page, you need to add a click handler to the a
elements.
$('#blogPagination').on('click', 'a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log($(this).attr('href'));
});
This will prevent the user from being taken to the link, and get the href
of the link when clicked.
Is this what you want?
