Question

Here is my XHTML code:

<ul id="MenuBar1">
  <li>
    <div class="menuBox">Category 1</div>
  </li>
  <li class="hasasubmenu">
    <div class="menuBox">Category 2</div>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="link.html">Link 1</a></li>
      <li><a href="link.html">Link 2</a></li>
      <li><a href="link.html">Link 3</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li class="hasasubmenu">
    <div class="menuBox">Category 3</div>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="link.html">Link</a></li>
      <li><a href="link.html">Link</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>
    <div class="menuBox">Category 4</div>
  </li>
</ul>

Actually, I want to make a menu with hover interaction to show sub links. (anyway, a standard menu:))

And here is my JS code:

/* menu handler */
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#MenuBar1 li.hasasubmenu').hover(function(){
    **(selector that select the sub <ul> of the hovered <li>)**.toggle();
  });
});

Can you help me finding the selector (in bold(**) in the JS code) which will be used for toggling?

Answer 1

children() or find()

/* menu handler */
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $('#MenuBar1 li.hasasubmenu').hover(function(){
        $(this).children('ul').toggle(); // select the ul
      });
    });
