Question

I want to do some actions depending on a element inside a li element and a submenu class in li element.
If the element has 2 classess current submenu i want to do some action when $(“.menu”).mouseenter event occurs. If the li element does not have this do something else….

    <nav id="id"> 
    <ul>
        <li><a href="index.html">index</a></li>
        <li><a href="serviceios.html" class="current submenu">Services</a></li>
        <li><a href="clients.html" >Clients</a></li>
        <li><a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a></li>
        <li><a href="contact.html" >Contact</a></li>
        <ul class="menu">
            <li><a href="#" class="documents" data-icon="&#xe000">1</a></li>

            <li><a href="#" class="messages" data-icon="&#xe001">2</a></li>

            <li><a href="#" class="signout" data-icon="&#xe002">3</a></li>
        </ul>
    </ul>
</nav>

I have:

$(".menu").mouseenter(
    function() {
        $(".menu").toggleClass('hover');
        $(".submenu").css("-webkit-border-radius", "8px 8px 0 0");
        $(".submenu").css("-moz-border-radius", "8px 8px 0 0");
        $(".submenu").css("border-radius", "8px 8px 0 0");
        if( $('li').hasClass('current submenu') )
            /*...*/
        else
            $(".submenu").toggleClass('current');
    }
);

what to do?

Answer 1

You are setting class to the a element inside the li, so a will have the class.

Use this. This will select the a with class submenu current inside an li.

if( $('li a.submenu').hasClass('current') ) {
    console.log("Got an li");
    /* Do stuff here */
} else {
    $(".submenu").toggleClass('current');
}

If you are sure there is only one element with submenu class at a time, then you can also do:

if( $('.submenu').hasClass('current') ) {
