I have this basic code in my html document:
<div class="database_name" style="background: rgb(243, 243, 243);">
<i class="minus_sign fa fa-minus-circle"></i>
<div id="hovering_div_inside">
<i class="fa fa-database database_sign"></i>
<span class="dat_name">Example</span>
</div>
<div class="appended">
<div class="create_new_table">
<i class="fa fa-pencil">
<span class="create_new_table_span">New</span>
</i>
</div>
<span class="table_names_from_database"></span>
</div>
</div>
I need to get the word example $(".dat_name).text()
when ever I click on $(".create_new_table_span")
on New.
It should be dynamic not only one time and also there are many NEW
links selector parent()
does not work.
Find the closest .database_name
and then .dat_name
under it on click of .create_new_table_span
like following.
$('.create_new_table_span').click(function(){
var text = $(this).closest('.database_name').find('.dat_name').text();
alert(text);
})
