display block with event target id

Question

I'm try to display an item inside a list that has a class which is exactly the same ID on the other list. This would be activated when I click on the other list then it will find a match class on the other list then display it.

Here is the code I'm using basically the first list is in display:none; List 2 is my menu on which in the list 1 would you like to display.

The first list should only have one visible item at a time.

Fiddle is here

HTML

<div id="gallery-container">
            <li class="1723"><p>
      123
      </p></li>
            <li class="1725"><p>
      456
      </p></li>
    </div>
<ul id="gallery-list">
    <li id="1723">
        <strong>qwertyuiop</strong>
    </li>
    <li id="1725">
        <strong>asdfghjkl</strong>
    </li>
</ul>

SCRIPT:

    $("#gallery-list li").click(function() {    
            alert(event.target.id);
        $("#gallery-container li .wc-gallery").css("display", "none");
    });

    window.onload = function () {
         $("#gallery-container li p").css("display", "none");
    }

CSS:

#gallery-container li p {display:none;}

It's bad bad to use the same id in one HTML document. Never do this. Nobody likes that, jQuery doesn't like that. I don't like it. Try using a class or a data property.

But.. scratch that.. you are not really trying to do that. But still.. it's better to use a data property :)

Anyways, to accomplish this with a data property, you can do something like this:

html

<div id="gallery-container">
  <li data-id="1723">
    <p>
      123
    </p>
  </li>
  <li data-id="1725">
    <p>
      456
    </p>
  </li>
</div>
<ul id="gallery-list">
  <li data-id="1723">
    <strong>qwertyuiop</strong>
  </li>
  <li data-id="1725">
    <strong>asdfghjkl</strong>
  </li>
</ul>

js

$("#gallery-list li").click(function() {
  var id = $(this).data('id');
  $("#gallery-container").find('li').each(function() {
     $(this).find('p').toggle($(this).data('id') === id);
  });
});

$('#gallery-list li').click(function() {    
    var targeeet = $(this).attr('id');
    $('.' + targeeet).children().css('display', 'block');
});

Try this.

If you want to fetch the id of the list you clicked:

    $("#gallery-list li").on("click", function() {
            alert($(this).attr("id"))
        $("#gallery-container li .wc-gallery").css("display", "none");
    });

All you need is :

$('#gallery-list li').click(function() {
      var target = $(this).attr('id');
      $("#gallery-container li").hide();
      $("#gallery-container li."+target).css('display', 'block');
    });

Check the example below :

 $('#gallery-list li').click(function() { var target = $(this).attr('id'); $("#gallery-container li").hide(); $("#gallery-container li."+target).css('display', 'block'); }); 

 #gallery-container li{ display: none; } 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div id="gallery-container"> <li class="1723"> <p> 123 </p> </li> <li class="1725"> <p> 456 </p> </li> </div> <ul id="gallery-list"> <li id="1723"> <strong>qwertyuiop</strong> </li> <li id="1725"> <strong>asdfghjkl</strong> </li> </ul>

Are you trying to do an accordion?

$("#gallery-container li").hide();

$("#gallery-list li").click(function() {    
    $("#gallery-container li").hide();
    $("#gallery-container li."+this.id).show();
});
