END UPDATE

Good Evening All,

I need to dynamically create X amount of jquery scripts foreach of the X amount of db results. X meaning the the number will vary. It is sort of a forum type thing where you see the original post with one reply showing and you would click see all or collapse all to view or collapse the rest. I am incrementing my html elements inside a foreach loop with the typical $i variable so I need to output jquery click functions for each as well.

The code I need PHP to create is below:

$jquery .= "$('#see_all$i').click(function () {
    $('#comment2_$i').slideDown('fast');
    $('#collapse$i').css('display', 'inline-block');
    $('#see_all$i').css('display', 'none');
    return false;
});

$('#collapse$i').click(function () {
    $('#comment2_$i').slideUp('fast');
    $('#collapse$i').css('display', 'none');
    $('#see_all$i').css('display', 'inline-block');
    return false;
})";

Any help would and always will be much appreciated!

Thanks

Answer 1

Generating multiple, slightly different copies of the same jQuery code is not a very good design, IMHO. You should write your jQuery code in a way that it only needs to be in your page once, like:

$('.see_all').click(function(){
     var thisItem = $(this);
     thisItem.parent().find('.comment').slideDown('fast');
     thisItem.parent().find('.collapse').css('display','inline-block');
     thisItem.css('display','none');
     return false;
}); 

$('.collapse').click(function(){
     var thisItem = $(this);
     thisItem.parent().find('.comment').slideUp('fast');
     thisItem.css('display','none');
     thisItem.parent().find('.see_all').css('display','inline-block');
     return false;
})";

Of course, this would also involve adding collapse , see_all , and comment classes to the relevant HTML elements.

Answer 2

html :

<div class="seeall" data-elid="1">...</div>
...
<div class="collapse" data-elid="1">...</div>
...

js :

var $bdy=$(document.body)
$bdy.on("click",".seeall",function(e) {
      var el=$(this).css('display','none').data("elid");
      $('#comment2_'+el).slideDown('fast');
      $('.collapse[data-elid="'+el+'"]').css('display','inline-block');
     })
     .on("click",".collapse", function(e) {
               //same same
     });
