I have a script that checks the class (integer) of a , runs a switch statement to change that integer value to text and appends the text to another in the same listitem tag. I use the .each() function because each listitem starts with class=_[user ID] — each user can have up to 5 entries.. Enough explaining — heres the code:

  <HTML>
    <li class='_44074'><div class='_12' style='width:380px;'><div style='width:60px; float:left;'>1st</div><div class='verify-type' style='float:left; width:160px;'></div><div style='float:left; width:120px;'>04/26/10 07:29 AM</div></div></li>
    <li class='_44074'><div class='_6' style='width:380px;'><div style='width:60px; float:left;'>2nd</div><div class='verify-type' style='float:left; width:160px;'></div><div style='float:left; width:120px;'>04/23/10 03:29 PM</div></div></li>
    <li class='_44074'><div class='_12' style='width:380px;'><div style='width:60px; float:left;'>3rd</div><div class='verify-type' style='float:left; width:160px;'></div><div style='float:left; width:120px;'>04/23/10 03:18 PM</div></div></li>
    <li class='_44074'><div class='_2' style='width:380px;'><div style='width:60px; float:left;'>4th</div><div class='verify-type' style='float:left; width:160px;'></div><div style='float:left; width:120px;'>04/23/10 02:28 PM</div></div></li>
    </HTML>

when I use the .each() function to scan through each of the listitems begining with the entered user id it only finds the first value (in this case _12) and applies that to all the entries; instead of finding _12, _6, _12, _2 it finds _12, _12, _12, _12…and applies the switch value “Shoe Straps & Wrist Straps” to all entries — here is the java:

 $("div#history-menu div#history-text li." + valueid).each(function(){
            valueid = $("div#center-box input").val();
    checkedvalue="";
    checkedvalue = $("div#history-menu div#history-text li." + valueid + " div").attr('class');
    switch(checkedvalue){
        case '_2':lcCheckedMessage = "Shoes"; break;
        case '_4':lcCheckedMessage = "Shoe Straps"; break;
        case '_6':lcCheckedMessage = "Shoes & Shoe Straps"; break;
        case '_8':lcCheckedMessage = "Wrist Straps"; break;
        case '_10':lcCheckedMessage = "Shoes & Wrist Strap"; break;
        case '_12':lcCheckedMessage = "Shoe Straps & Wrist Strap"; break;
    };
    $("div#history-menu div#history-text li." + valueid + " ." + checkedvalue + " .verify-type").text(lcCheckedMessage);
});

    This line:

    checkedvalue = $("div#history-menu div#history-text li." + valueid + " div").attr('class');

    will perform the search again, always finding the first item. Instead, use the value of this to get the current item:

    checkedvalue = $(this).find('div').attr('class');

    You need to do something similar in the last line, e.g.

    $(this).find(".verify-type").text(lcCheckedMessage);
