I am quite a noob when it comes to jQuery and I'm trying to select the next element using the next() selector but having a little trouble in getting it to work!
What I'm trying to do is to activate slideDown() once the user has finished making their selection on a ui slider. Here is my code:
$('.slider').slider({
stop: function(event, ui) {
$(this).nextAll('.secondq:first').slideDown('slow')
}
});
Trouble is, this doesn't work at all. It will only work if I put the 'secondq' question inside the parent div of the ui slider. Here is my HTML:
<div class="option">
<h2 align="left">How high is your ceiling from the floor?</h2>
<input type="text" align="right" name="bonus" class="value" disabled="disabled" />
<div class="slidewrap">
<div class="sliderFt slider"></div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End Option -->
<div class="option">
<h2 align="left">How many windows do you have?</h2>
<input type="text" align="right" name="bonus" class="value" disabled="disabled" />
<div class="slidewrap">
<div class="sliderWinDoor slider"></div>
</div>
<div class="secondq" style="display:none;">
<h2>What type of material are your windows made of?</h2>
<div class="radiocont">
<label>Wood</label>
<input type="radio" class="styled" value="wood" name="windowtype" />
</div>
<div class="radiocont">
<label>Metal</label>
<input type="radio" class="styled" value="metal" name="windowtype" />
</div>
<div class="radiocont">
<label>PVC</label>
<input type="radio" class="styled" value="pvc" name="windowtype" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
nextAll
only gets siblings. Based on your HTML structure, you could do:
$(this).parent().next()
To make it more independent from the structure, you could also do:
$(this).closest('.slidewrap').nextAll('.secondq:first')
