Better way to "find parent" and if statements
- by Luke Abell
I can't figure out why this isn't working:
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($('.checkarea.unchecked').length) {
$(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().removeClass('checked').addClass('unchecked');
}
else {
$(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().removeClass('unchecked').addClass('checked');
}
});
Here's a screenshot of the HTML structure: http://cloud.lukeabell.com/JV9N (Updated with correct screenshot)
Also, there has to be a better way to find the parent of the item (there are multiple of these elements on the page, so I need it to only effect the one that is unchecked)
Here's some other code that is involved that might be important:
$('.toggle-open-area').click(function() {
if($(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().hasClass('open')) {
$(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().removeClass('open').addClass('closed');
}
else {
$(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().removeClass('closed').addClass('open');
}
});
$('.checkarea').click(function() {
if($(this).hasClass('unchecked')) {
$(this).removeClass('unchecked').addClass('checked');
$(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().removeClass('open').addClass('closed');
}
else {
$(this).removeClass('checked').addClass('unchecked');
$(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().removeClass('closed').addClass('open');
}
});
(Very open to improvements for that section as well)
Thank you so much!

Update: I've improved the code from the comments, but still having issues with that first section not working.
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($('.checkarea.unchecked').length) {
$(this).parents('.whole-step').removeClass('checked').addClass('unchecked');
}
else {
$(this).parents('.whole-step').removeClass('unchecked').addClass('checked');
}
});
--
$('.toggle-open-area').click(function() {
if($(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().hasClass('open')) {
$(this).parents('.whole-step').removeClass('open').addClass('closed');
}
else {
$(this).parents('.whole-step').removeClass('closed').addClass('open');
}
});
$('.toggle-open-area').click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass('unchecked checked');
$(this).closest(selector).toggleClass('open closed');
});
$('.checkarea').click(function() {
if($(this).hasClass('unchecked')) {
$(this).removeClass('unchecked').addClass('checked');
$(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().removeClass('open').addClass('closed');
}
else {
$(this).removeClass('checked').addClass('unchecked');
$(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().removeClass('closed').addClass('open');
}
});
