The following code performs .css({"background":"black"});
on all elements with class="hole"
, however I'm trying to get it to do it on elements with class="hole"
AND data-hole-key="[hole_key_variable]"
.
What's missing?
jQuery:
// on elements with class "hole" hovered
$('.hole').hover(
function(){
// get the data value of the currently hovered element
var holeKey = $($(this).data('holeKey'));
// on all elements with that class "hole" and specified data value, change bgcolor
$('.hole').data(holeKey).css({"background":"black"});
},
function(){
var holeKey = $($(this).data('holeKey'));
$('.hole').data(holeKey).removeAttr('style');
}
);
HTML:
<td class="hole" data-hole-key="1">text</td>
<td class="hole" data-hole-key="2">text</td>
<td class="hole" data-hole-key="3">text</td>
BTW, why does this (faulty) code not work at all without double wrapping this line:
var holeKey = $($(this).data('holeKey'));
Here's a working jsfiddle of what I believe you're looking for:
http://jsfiddle.net/XKs4a/
// on elements with class "hole" hovered
$('.hole').hover(
function(){
// get the data value of the currently hovered element
var holeKey = $(this).data('holeKey');
// on all elements with that class "hole" and specified data value, change bgcolor
$('.hole[data-hole-key=' + holeKey + ']').css({"background":"black"});
},
function(){
var holeKey = $(this).data('holeKey');
$('.hole[data-hole-key=' + holeKey + ']').removeAttr('style');
}
);
And for this:
var holeKey = $($(this).data('holeKey'));
That would return the key wrapped in jquery, so for the first element you would get $(1)
EDIT
Rethinking what I think you are trying to do- this first snipped will change the hovered element CSS only
$('.hole').hover(
function(){
$(this).css({"background":"black"});
},
function(){
$(this).removeAttr('style');
}
);
WHere your code is causing issues
This part here is not going to return a value because you are wrapping it in jQuery, and the value being wrapped is not a selector
// get the data value of the currently hovered element
var holeKey = $($(this).data('holeKey'));
To get the value from element data
// get the data value of the currently hovered element
var holeKey = $(this).data('holeKey');
To isolate a $('.hole') based on its data value you could do something like this:
var testVal=1;
$('.hole[data-hole-key="'+ testVal+'"]').hover(.....
Or another method using filter()
var testVal=1;
$('.hole').filter(function(){
return $(this).data('data-hole-key')==testVal;
}).hover(....
