I just started learning Jquery, I found this tutorial :
http://www.tutorials...sal-closest.htm
it said :
Description:
The closest( selector ) method works by first looking at the current element to see if it matches the specified expression, if so it just returns the element itself. If it doesn't match then it will continue to traverse up the document, parent by parent, until an element is found that matches the specified expression. If no matching element is found then none will be returned.
<html>
<head>
<title>the title</title>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).bind("click", function (e) {
$(e.target).closest("li").toggleClass("highlight");
});
});
</script>
<style>
.highlight { color:red;
background: yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<p>Click any item below to see the result:</p>
<ul>
<li class="top">list item 1</li>
<li class="top">list item 2</li>
<li class="middle">list item 3</li>
<li class="middle">list item 4</li>
<li class="bottom">list item 5</li>
<li class="bottom">list item 6</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
when you click in a list item it change its class.
what I did now, changed :
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).bind("click", function (e) {
$(e.target).closest("div").toggleClass("highlight");
});
});
</script>
AND
<body>
<div class="someclass">
<p>Click any item below to see the result:</p>
<ul>
<li class="top">list item 1</li>
<li class="top">list item 2</li>
<li class="middle">list item 3</li>
<li class="middle">list item 4</li>
<li class="bottom">list item 5</li>
<li class="bottom">list item 6</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
since div is one of the li parent, so clicking in any li should change the class of div to yellow, but it does not work, maybe I misunderstood how this function works or I am missing something.
your help is appreciated
