Question

I have three div’s…

<div id="1"></div>
<div id="2"></div>
<div id="3"></div>

When I click on a random div, it moves the order of the div to the top (Let’s use ID #2 for example). So the div’s could be out of chronological order after this point. Example below…

<div id="2"></div>
<div id="1"></div>
<div id="3"></div>

So if this is the case, is there a way to get the last div ID I clicked?

Answer 1

Do you mean this?

var lastID;

// document.ready
$(function() {
    $("div").on("click", function() {
        lastID = $(this).attr("id");
    });
});

function something() {
    // lastID is the id of the last div clicked.
}

Declaring lastID outside the document.ready function means it’s globally accessible, so you can use it in other functions later.
