Question

Look at the code:

<div class="test">
  <p><a href="#">1</a><a href="#">2</a><a href="#">3</a></p>
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
</div>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(".test a").each(function(index,element){
    $(element).click(function(){
        $(element).toggleClass("hover");                    // here works well
        $(".test div:eq(index)").slideToggle();             // here words wrong!
        });
});
</script>

above code, i think it should work well,but i am wrong. i do not know why.
the second event:the “div” only slidetoggle the first, other div do not slidetoggle, whenever you click which “a” tag.

another way is wrong the same:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(".test a").click(function(){
    x = $(this).index();
    $(this).toggleClass("hover");                   // here works well
    $(".test div:eq(x)").slideToggle();             // here words wrong!
    });
</script>

by the way, i test .get(index) method too, the browser says: it does not support the method!

is there a master to solve this difficulty?

guys! Through testing again and again, i finally figured out. Let me show the correct code:

plan A:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(".test a").each(function(index,element){
    $(element).click(function(){
        $(element).toggleClass("hover");
        $(".test div").eq(index).slideToggle();
        });
    });
</script>

plan B:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(".test a").click(function(){
    x = $(this).index();
    $(this).toggleClass("hover");
    $(".test div").eq(x).slideToggle();
    });
</script>

OR Just:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(".test a").click(function(){
    $(this).toggleClass("hover");
    $(".test div").eq($(this).index()).slideToggle();
    });
</script>

plan C: come from @Šime Vidas `s method

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(".test").on("click","a",function(){
    $(this).toggleClass("hover");
    $(this).parent().siblings().eq($(this).index()).slideToggle();
    });
</script>

I test :eq(" + index + ") it does not work. but .eq(index) works well!
is that mean in selector :eq(n),n could not be variable, but, in method .eq(n), n can be variable?

I test .on method, it does not work with jquery-1.6.4.min, but works well with jquery-1.7.1.min.

There is another interesting thing:Plan B, the first code, the x variable is always be 0 in some more complicated condition, but the sencond code has no this problem. i can not figure this out yet.

thank you all guys, for all your methods and help, without you, i could not figure this out.

Answer 1

Try this:

$( '.test' ).on( 'click', 'a', function () {
    $( this ).toggleClass( 'hover' );
    $( this ).parent().siblings().eq( $( this ).index() ).slideToggle();
});
