I have this jQuery:
$(this).parent().parent().find(".license_tooltip").stop(true, true).fadeIn(200);
The $(this)
object is nested within two div
s like this:
<div>
<div>
<a href="">$(this) object</a>
</div>
<div>
<a href="">object to fade in</a>
</div>
</div>
Can someone point me in the right direction to making my jQuery more streamlined? The structure presented above is replicated multiple times, so using classes and IDs is impossible.
You can use a class (or any other selectable attribute) and .closest()
to claim to the parent you want, like this:
<div class="container">
<div>
<a href="">$(this) object</a>
</div>
<div>
<a href="">object to fade in</a>
</div>
</div>
And for the script:
$(this).closest(".container").find(".license_tooltip").stop(true, true).fadeIn(200);
You could use the .parents( [ selector ] )
here is a link
It will traverse more than one parent up.
use parents()
$(this)
.parents('selector for the parent you need to look in')
.find(".license_tooltip")
.stop(true, true)
.fadeIn(200);
