Question

I have a “a.adress” element in a div. on blur, the div dissapears. Whenever I click the a.adress element, I want the value of the a element to populate a field.(the same that gets blurred.

This is what I expected to work:

$('.field').blur(function() {
  $("a.adress").click(function() {
    event.preventDefault();
    $(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().prev(".field").val($(this).text());
  });
  $(this).next('.spacer').children().removeClass("visible");
});

Each part works seperately,

this hides the div

$('.field').blur(function() {
  $(this).next('.spacer').children().removeClass("visible");
});

this populates the field:

  $("a.adress").click(function() {
    event.preventDefault();
    $(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().prev(".field").val($(this).text());
  });

But when I put them together, I don’t manage to populate the label. How do I make it work?

Kristoffer,

based on the link you provided …

$('.field').blur(function() {
    $(this).next('.spacer').children().removeClass('visible');
});

$('a.adress').click(function(e) {
    var $this = $(this);

    e.preventDefault();
    $this.parents('.spacer').prev('.field').val($this.text());
});

… that should be sufficient.
