Question

I’ve got some HTML that looks like this.

<li class="t-item t-first">
  <div class="t-top">
    <span class="t-icon t-plus"></span>
    <span class="t-in">Offshore</span>
  </div>
  <input type="hidden" value="41393" name="itemValue" class="t-input">
</li>

The HTML is a single item from a treeview created by Telerik. The real data here is that “Offshore” has an id of “41393”.

From the Telerik code I get the span-element with class”t-in”, but I’m unable to get the ID-value from it. How can I use jQuery to find the value of the hidden input type?

Answer 1

how about this:

var $in = $(".t-in");
var text = $in.text(); //offshore
var val = $in.parent(".t-item").find("input.t-input").val() //41393

this sorta works if you only have one t-in element, otherwise, you have have to replace the first line in my code with how you select the element yourself.

You need to provide more info, but this is the best i could do with what you gave
