Question

I have a page which allows a user to ‘nudge’ someone to do something

I have the following html (it can appear many times but I’ll show two for now)

<div class="nudgeHolder641">
    <a id="nudge" data-wl_id="641" data-nudge_for="415" data-nudge_from="63" href="#">Nudge</a>
</div>

<div class="nudgeHolder1172">
    <a id="nudge" data-wl_id="1172" data-nudge_for="415" data-nudge_from="63" href="#">Nudge</a>
</div>

I have the following code to action the click:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#nudge").click(function() {

        var nudge_from = $( '#nudge' ).data( 'nudge_from' );
        var nudge_for = $( '#nudge' ).data( 'nudge_for' );
        var wl_id = $( '#nudge' ).data( 'wl_id' );

        var dataString = 'nudge_from='+ nudge_from + '&nudge_for=' + nudge_for + '&wl_id=' + wl_id;

        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "/pages/includes/ajax/nudge.php",
            data: dataString,
            success: function() {

                $('.nudgeHolder'+wl_id).html("<h3>Fantastic!</h3>")
                .append("<p>Nudge Sent!</p>")
                .hide()
                .fadeIn(1500, function() {
                  //$('#message').append("<img id='checkmark' src='/images/icons/check.png' />");
                });
            }
        });
    return false;
    });
});

Only the first instance of the link fires when clicked though, when I click the second ‘nudge’ link nothing happens, the first one works as it should. If there is only one link shown on a page then it works fine.

Any ideas?

You’re binding to an ID, and an ID can only exist once in the DOM. Try changing it to the class:

<div class="nudgeHolder641">
    <a class="nudge" data-wl_id="641" data-nudge_for="415" data-nudge_from="63" href="#">Nudge</a>
</div>

<div class="nudgeHolder1172">
    <a class="nudge" data-wl_id="1172" data-nudge_for="415" data-nudge_from="63" href="#">Nudge</a>
</div>

And then bind using:

$(function(){
$(".nudge").click(function() {

    var nudge_from = $( this ).data( 'nudge_from' );
    var nudge_for = $( this ).data( 'nudge_for' );
    var wl_id = $( this ).data( 'wl_id' );

    var dataString = 'nudge_from='+ nudge_from + '&nudge_for=' + nudge_for + '&wl_id=' + wl_id;

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/pages/includes/ajax/nudge.php",
        data: dataString,
        success: function() {

            $('.nudgeHolder'+wl_id).html("<h3>Fantastic!</h3>")
            .append("<p>Nudge Sent!</p>")
            .hide()
            .fadeIn(1500, function() {
              //$('#message').append("<img id='checkmark' src='/images/icons/check.png' />");
            });
        }
    });
return false;
});

});
