Count number of li element and addclass
6
I am trying to count LI elements, and addclass to another div.
For example,
$('.box2').addClass(function(){
return 'list' + $(this).find('.box1 li').length;
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ul>
<div class="box2">text</div>This should be like this
<div class="box2 list3">text</div>
But I don't know why when I check on the DOM code,
<div class="box2 list0">text</div>
I get this result.
What do I need to fix the code?
Please help.

Your$(this)is not pointing to.box2as you expect

@Mr.Alien It is what it actually does, pointing to.box2, hence not working as expected as there is no.box1after it.

@Mr.Alien Aconsole.log($(this)shows that$(this)is pointing to.box2. If you reverse the HTML structure ofbox1andbox2and change theJavaScripttoreturn 'list' + $(this).find('+ .box1 li').length;, you'll see it's working properly using the adjacent sibling selector added to the start offind.

this is not pointing to the element you are thinking, it is referring to DIV element on which the addClass() is invoked and this element does not have .box1 li. Thus find() is failing to refer your intended element.
Simply use:
$('.box1 li').length
$('.box2').addClass(function(){
console.log(this.nodeName); // DIV
return 'list' + $('.box1 li').length;
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>

$(this).find will find the li in the div with box2 class which are not present. Instead check this in the div with box1 class and find the li elements
$('.box2').addClass(function(){
return 'list' + $('.box1').find('li').length;
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">

You can simply do this by following method
$('.box2').addClass('list' + $('.box1 li').length);<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>

$(this).find will find the li in the div with box2 class which are not present. Instead check this in the div with box1 class and find the li elements
$('.box2').addClass(function(){
return 'list' + $('.box1').find('li').length;
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ul>
<div class="box2">text</div>$('.box2').addClass(function(){
return 'list' + $('.box1').find('li').length;
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ul>
<div class="box2">text</div>$('.box2').addClass(function(){
return 'list' + $('.box1').find('li').length;
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="box1">
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ul>

<ul class="box1">

Your
$(this)is not pointing to.box2as you expect– Mr. Alien

@Mr.Alien It is what it actually does, pointing to
.box2, hence not working as expected as there is no.box1after it.– LGSon

@Mr.Alien A
console.log($(this)shows that$(this)is pointing to.box2. If you reverse the HTML structure ofbox1andbox2and change theJavaScripttoreturn 'list' + $(this).find('+ .box1 li').length;, you'll see it's working properly using the adjacent sibling selector added to the start offind.– Andy Hoffman
