Question

I have a list of divs created using a while-loop

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$output = "<div id='drag'>$row[id] - $row[name] - $row['email']</div>";
echo $output;}

When I try to make those divs highlighted for a few seconds.
Only the first div seems to be reacting.

$("#drag").effect("highlight", {}, 2000);

Is there any strategy to make all the output be highlighted this way? And is there a way to make a certain div or divs highlighted?

Answer 1

IDs must be unique by definition. You can use classes instead.

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    $output = "<div class='drag'>$row[id] - $row[name] - $row['email']</div>";
    echo $output;
}

Then…

$(".drag").effect("highlight", {}, 2000);
