Recursively find the next section by class name












2















I have a block of HTML which put simply contains a series of 'sections' each section contains an button. What I'm trying to do is get the section that the button was clicked from and then get the next section and I just cannot get anywhere near it (!) so the HTML (trimmed down for ease of reading as the div containing the button has loads of markup within it) is the following:



<section class="showMe">
<div class="col-md-12 form-group">
<a class="reg-next-button">Next</a>
</div>
</section>

<section class="showMe d-none">
<div class="col-md-12 form-group">
<a class="reg-next-button">Next</a>
</div>
</section>

<section class="showMe d-none">
<div class="col-md-12 form-group">
<a class="reg-next-button">Next</a>
</div>
</section>


So when the 'button' is clicked the following script block is fired:



$('section .reg-next-button').on(click, function (e) {
var section = $(this).closest("section"); //This gives me the section that the button was clicked from

//what I've tried to get the 'next' section all of which have been unsuccessful

var $next = section.next('.showMe');
var $next = $(this).next('section');
var $next = $(this).closest('section').find('showMe');
var $next = $('section.showMe').nextAll();
var $next = section.next().find('.showMe');

//once I've got the 'next section I'll do some stuff with adding/removing classes to make the section shown/hidden

});


Could anyone assist please?



Thanks,

    Problem is in event name that you used click as variable but you should use as string

  • @Mohammad given that the OP states their event handler runs, I would assume that's just a typo in the question

once you got current section you will be able to get next section without any input parameters. Here you can find sample fiddle.



$('section .reg-next-button').on('click', function (e) {
var section = $(this).closest("section");
var $next = section.next();
alert($next.attr('class'));


});
