Trying to add class to parent div <div class="widget-content">
if .widget-content li a
has specific class .ifthis
.
HTML:
<div class="widget-content">
<ul>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/slycolor" class="ifthis"> <b>This Text Should Red</b></a>
</li>
<li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/slycolor" class="ifthis"> <b>This Text Should Red</b></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I have tried This:
$('.widget-content li a').has('.ifthis').parent('.widget-content').addClass('social-sidebar');
But not working, see this example fiddle.
Select children which have class ifthis
then select it's parent using parents()
or closest()
$('.widget-content li a.ifthis').parents('.widget-content').addClass('social-sidebar');
OR
$('.widget-content li a.ifthis').closest('.widget-content').addClass('social-sidebar');
Your code is not working because,
has()
will only check that it's descendant has contain that selector, you need filter()
instead.
parent()
will only select immediate parent , so you should use parents()
or closest()
.
With your code :
$('.widget-content li a').filter('.ifthis').parents('.widget-content').addClass('social-sidebar');
Use this:
$('a.ifthis').closest('div.widget-content').addClass('social-sidebar');
Or:
$('.ifthis').closest('.widget-content').addClass('social-sidebar');
//if only a elements have .ifthis and only div elements have .widget-content
Or:
$('.widget-content:has(.ifthis)').addClass('social-sidebar');
