jQuery on click move a div after() the parent

1.1k views Asked by Norman At 08 September 2013 at 08:09

In the following code, how can I move the <div class="move">I was moved to the parent.</div> after the parent of the element I click, when I click Add New.

I have everything right, but I cannot do the part where I need to move it after() the parent.

Can you please help?

$(document).ready(function() {

    $(this).parent("div").after(".move");

    });

.after() doesn't accept selectors, currently you are inserting .move string after the selected element. You can use .insertAfter() method instead:

$(".move").insertAfter(this.parentNode);

This code should work.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.add').click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $("#container").find('.flag, .edit, .delete').remove();
        $('.move').insertAfter($(this).parent());
        //Or (Note we have to pass a jQuery element inside after, if we pass string then it will copy the string instead)
        //$(this).parent('div').after($('.move'));
    });
});

Also here is a jsfiddle. The reason why yours wasn't working is you are passing a string inside the .after, which jQuery would treat as an HTML string. You had to pass a jQuery element or DOM element. See it here.

try this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/QP3MZ/

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.add').click(function () {
        $("#container").find('.flag, .edit, .delete').remove();
        var $move = $('#container .move');
        $(this).parent("div").after($move);
    });
});
