Question

I am still learning jQuery so this may be a simple one. When a link is clicked I wish to change the text in a div which is a copy of another one on the page, I am deleting the copy and updating the text in the original. I have the parent id and pass the inner div, but the text does not change.

Thanks

            var idValues = $(this).parents(".listingContainer").attr('id');
            idValues = '#' + idValues
            $(this).parents(".listingContainer").remove();
            $(idValues).find("div.saveCompare").text('Compare removed')

In idValues is #001 which is correct.

Here is the div:

<div class="listingContainer grid_9 alpha omega" id="001">
                <a href="adContent.html" class="listContent">
                    <div class="listingWrapper">
                        <div class="grid_8 alpha omega">
                            <div class="listingContent">
                                <div class="imgHolder">
                                    <img width="100" height="75" src="imgs/cars/SearchThumb-10053319.jpg">
                                </div>
                                <div class="descHolder">
                                    <div id="car"></div>
                                    <h3>Fancy Car</h3><div class="saveCompareShow">Compare Added</div>

                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div><!--End listingWrapper-->
                </a>
            </div>

Answer 1

1. you can not have numeric id’s 001

2.i can not find a class called saveCompare , are you reffering to saveCompareShow

NOTE

HTML ID atttribute

Specifies a unique id for the element. Naming rules: Must begin with a
letter A-Z or a-z Can be followed by: letters (A-Za-z), digits (0-9),
hyphens (“-“), and underscores (“_”) In HTML, all values are
case-insensitive
