Appending separate divs from selected items

April 16, 2018, at 07:27 AM

I'm trying to display the text of only the selected items when the submit button is clicked. The issue I'm getting is all selected items get put into a single <div> element. Is there a way to make each selected item go into their own <div> element?

Here is the html for the button items that can be selected:

<div class="select-group">
    <p class="item-selection">item 1</p><button type="button" class="btn btn-default check">Add Item</button>
    <p class="item-selection">item 2</p><button type="button" class="btn btn-default check">Add Item</button>
    <p class="item-selection">item 3</p><button type="button" class="btn btn-default check">Add Item</button>
</div>
<a class="submit-ct" href="#">
  Submit Order
</a>

Here is the jquery:

$('.submit-ct').on('click', function(){
  if ( $( '.btn' ).hasClass( 'active' ) ) {
    var itemSelected = $( '.btn.active' ).prev().text();
    $("<div>"+itemSelected+"</div>").attr('class', 'item-list-select').appendTo(".item-list");
  } 
})

try :

$('.select-group').on('click', '.btn', function() { 
  var btn = $(this); 
  if (btn.hasClass('active')) { 
    btn.removeClass('active'); 
  } else { 
    btn.addClass('active'); 
  } 
}); 
 
$('.submit-ct').on('click', function(){ 
  var itemSelected = $( '.btn.active' ).prev().text(); 
  if (!itemSelected) return; 
  $("<div>"+itemSelected+"</div>").attr('class', 'item-list-select').appendTo(".item-list"); 
})

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<div class="select-group"> 
    <p class="item-selection">item 1</p><button type="button" class="btn btn-default check">Add Item</button> 
    <p class="item-selection">item 2</p><button type="button" class="btn btn-default check">Add Item</button> 
    <p class="item-selection">item 3</p><button type="button" class="btn btn-default check">Add Item</button> 
</div> 
 
<h3>selected:</h3> 
<div class="item-list"></div> 
 
<a class="submit-ct" href="#"> 
  Submit Order 
</a>

Answer 2

Found the solution by using each()

$('.submit-ct').on('click', function(){
    $( '.btn.active' ).each(function() {
      var itemSelected = $( this ).prev().text();
      $("<div>"+itemSelected+"</div>").attr('class', 'item-list-select').appendTo(".item-list");
    });
})
