Question

I’ve used backbone.js ‘click‘ event here. onClick event, I want to select the clicked HTML element,remove it and add into added list.

I am not able to access all HTML dom element where I have clicked. After getting HTML element.

If I click ‘China’, The below code would alert ‘<li>China</li>‘.

So, How do I access all dom properties ?

Java Script code:

var ActionBox = Backbone.View.extend({
        el:$("#container"),
        events: {
                    "click #add li": "addItem",
                    "click #alert": "alertHere"
        },
        initialize: function(){     
                _.bindAll(this,"addItem","render");             
                this.render();  
        },
        render:function(){  
                this.prepareActions();          
        },
        addItem:function(ev){
                var ac=$(ev.target).html(); // it doesn't give me "<li>US</li>" after clicking US
                alert(ac);
                },
        prepareActions:function(){          
                    var str="";
                    for(var i=0;i<actions.length;i++)   str+="<li>"+actions[i]+"</li>";                         
                    $("#add ul").append(str);
        }       
    });    
var actionBox = new ActionBox();

and HTML code as below:

    <div id="container">
    <table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <div id="add">      
                <ul>
                 <li>US</li>
                 <li>China</li>
                 <li>UK</li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </td>
        <td>
            <div id="controls">

            </div>
        </td>
        <td>
            <div id="added">        
                <ul></ul>
            </div>
        </td>
    </tr>
    </table>        
</div>

There are two ul containers, add and added, If I click the element from source, it should be shifted into target container.

You just want to use appendTo – this will remove it and put it into your #added UL

$(ev.target).appendTo('#added');
