jquery selector for elements beside one another? [migrated]
- by PaulHanak
this SHOULD be simple, but I have been through the Jquery Selector help for about an hour now and nothing seems to be working. Help!
I am basically trying to pull the text (an address) of a SPAN after a user clicks on the link next to it. Please note though, I will have about 10 on a page, so I cannot set a static address. It must be pulled when the user clicks.
The html code:
<a href="3" class="clicky">Click to Show Map</a>
<span style="display: none" class="theaddy">123 Fake Street, Somewhere Else, 12341</span>
So really, my question is, how do I grab the text from .theaddy when a user clicks on .clicky?
As I said, I cannot use
var propertyaddy = $(.theaddy).text();
because there are 10 of these addy's on the same page. I need some sort of "THIS" Next To kinda thing.
I also tossed around the idea of placing the SPAN inside the A, but my efforts on that weren't working either.
Thank you in advance for any help!
