I am using jQuery Steps library but my form structure is generated and I can't change it. I have a structure similar to this:
<form method="POST" action="#" id="form">
<div>
<div>some necessary content</div>
<div>some necessary content</div>
<div id="" class="wrapper" data-name="group">
<div class="another-class">
<label>Group</label>
</div>
<div class="some-other-class">
more codes
</div>
</div>
<div id="" class="wrapper" data-name="group">
<div class="another-class">
<label>Group</label>
</div>
<div class="some-other-class">
more codes
</div>
</div>
<div class="submit">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
the problem is that jQuery Steps doesnt work with wrappers for title and content
$("#form").steps({
headerTag: ".wrapper label",
bodyTag: ".wrapper .some-other-class",
transitionEffect: "slideLeft",
autoFocus: true
});
here is my first attempt: fiddle and also here is my second attempt: fiddle
So I want a step for each wrapper
div with label as title of the step but I can't get it to work.
you need to manipulate the DOM and elements generated with JS to give him the right structure.
// Insert new div contains your steps
$('<div id="steps"></div>').insertBefore('.submit');
// Loop each step
$('.wrapper').each(function(){
// Add to steps container, the title
$('#steps').append('<div class="title">' + $(this).find('label').text() + '</div>');
// Add to steps container, the content
$('#steps').append('<div class="content">' + $(this).find('.some-other-class').html() + '</div>');
// Remove useless code
$(this).remove();
});
// Now, you have the right structure, you can fire your lib script
$("#steps").steps({
headerTag: ".title",
bodyTag: ".content",
transitionEffect: "slideLeft",
autoFocus: true
});
