Question

I am using jquery to to find the element on the page with display set to none and return it’s id in a variable. My attempt is below:

$(".galleryitem[display='none']").this

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong…

Answer 1

I don’t think that you need to add :hidden psuedo selector. The following will give you the id of selector irrespective of whether it is hidden or not.

var elementId = $(".galleryitem").attr("id");

but if you add it will be bit faster-

var elementId = $(".galleryitem:hidden").attr("id");
