jQueryUI Sortable - 从可排序列表中删除li

Question

What i need is the ability to have an X either a text link, or button, I'm to remove an item from the sortable list. How do I write a function to do so within this code?

$(function() {
    $("#sortable").sortable({
        placeholder: "ui-state-musichighlight"
    });
});

<ul id="sortable">
    <li class="ui-state-musicdefault">
        <a class="delete" href="#">X</a>
        <!-- ...lots of form data here, only text input fields... -->
    </li>

    <li>
        <a class="delete" href="#">X</a>
        <!-- ...lots of form data here, only text input fields... -->
    </li>

    <li>
        <a class="delete" href="#">X</a>
        <!-- ...lots of form data here, only text input fields... -->
    </li>
</ul>

Answer 1

 $(".delete").click(function(){ $(this).parent().remove(); }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <ul> <li>Delete me 1<a href="#" class="delete">delete</a></li> <li>Delete me 2<a href="#" class="delete">delete</a></li> <li>Delete me 3<a href="#" class="delete">delete</a></li> <li>Delete me 4<a href="#" class="delete">delete</a></li> </ul>

Listen delegated click on inner .delete elements and remove corresponding li when that happens:

$("#sortable").sortable({
    placeholder: "ui-state-musichighlight"
})
.on('click', '.delete', function() {
    $(this).closest('li').remove();
});

Answer 3

You can use .closest('li') or .parent() with clicked delete element context along with .remove() to remove them:

$('.delete').click(function(){
   $(this).closest('li').remove();
             //or
   $(this).parent().remove();    
});

Answer 4

You can catch the click on delete class, and remove its parent.

(function(){

    $(document).on('click', '.delete', function(){
        $(this).parent('li').remove();
    }
})();
