Count li elements that are visible with jQuery

问题:

Im counting my li elements with the following jQuery script:

HTML:

<ul class="relatedelements">
   <li style="display:none;" class="1">anything</li>
   <li style="display:none;" class="2">anything</li>
   <li style="display:none;" class="3">anything</li>
</ul>

jQuery:

    $(function() {
        var numrelated=$('.relatedelements > li').length;
        $('.num-relatedelements').html(numrelated); 
    });

--> The script returns: 3

I change the style="display: none" property of some of the li elements when $(document).ready with jQuery, like: $('.2').show();

I now want to change the script in a way to count only the visible li elements with the following script (i just added :visible following the jQuery docs):

    $(function() {
        var numrelated=$('.relatedelements > li:visible').length;
        $('.num-relatedelements').html(numrelated); 
    });

--> The script returns: nothing

I have no clue why it doesn't work out - maybe anyone has any tip or idea? Any help is much appreaciated. Thanks upfront!

回答1:

work fine for me

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.2').show();
    var numrelated=$('.relatedelements > li:visible').length;
    $('.num-relatedelements').html(numrelated); 
});​

Works fine here:

http://jsfiddle.net/jtbowden/FrPPr/1/ (0 visible)

Now, using numbers as class names is illegal. (W3C Spec, bullet 2) Class names must start with a letter. Maybe doing manipulations with that is causing problems?

Other than that, I can only guess your problem is elsewhere. Are you using the latest version of jQuery? (Although in my tests, it works all the way back to 1.3, and then it doesn't work at all)

Did you misspell "visible" in your actual code. (I've done this before)

回答3:

Element assumed as hidden if it or its parents consumes no space in document. CSS visibility isn't taken into account.

View:

<ul class="relatedelements">
   <li class="1 hidden">anything</li>
   <li class="2 hidden">anything</li>
   <li class="3 hidden">anything</li>
   <li class="4">anything</li>
    <li class="5">anything</li>
    <li class="6">anything</li>
    <li class="7 hidden">anything</li>
</ul>

<div class="num-relatedelements"></div>

CSS

.hidden {
    display: none;
}​

JS

$(function() {  
   var numrelated= $('.relatedelements > li:not(.hidden)').length;
   alert(numrelated);
   $('.num-relatedelements').html(numrelated); 
});​

I've made a jsfiddle for you: http://jsfiddle.net/mgrcic/3BzKT/3/

It works like that:

$(function() {
    var numrelated=$('.relatedelements > li:visible').length;
    $('.num-relatedelements').html(numrelated); 
});

You can see working example there.

Just take a look at this: http://jsfiddle.net/vnMrQ/

回答6:

Yep, as everyone has already said, it works fine, even when you .show() the element doc ready:

回答7:

Your script returns nothing because all DIV's are hidden. It returns 1 when 1 is shown.

回答8:

I have tried this out and it seems to work i.e. I get a result of '1'.

$(function() {
    $('.2').show();

    var numrelated=$('.relatedelements > li:visible').length;
    $('.num-relatedelements').html(numrelated); 
});

NB: I don't think having numbers for the value of an attribute is valid markup

回答9:

In line one simply define a div or span or paragraph where you want to display count, and in second line the ul containing li

 $('.notify').html(
 $('#ul-notifications li').length);
