Question

Is it possible for me to generate the selector statement for an html class I want to manipulate in javascript. I see that the class is present however when I try top.$find(‘.specific_class’); it returns null which makes me believe I am using the incorrect select statement.

Answer 1

Your JQuery selector is not formatted correctly.

Try the following:

$(".specific_class").find(function(){                  

       // do your code here with this instance of the found .specific_class $(this)

       // get this items ID
       var id = $(this).attr("id");


});
