[javascript] how to pass this element to javascript onclick function and add a class to that clicked element

I had an html navigation code as below

_x000D_
_x000D_
function Data(string) {
  //1. get some data from server according to month year etc.,
  //2. unactive all the remaining li's and make the current clicked element active by adding "active" class to the element
  $('.filter').removeClass('active');
  $(this).addClass('active');
}
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="row" style="padding-left:21px;">
  <ul class="nav nav-tabs" style="padding-left:40px;">
    <li class="active filter"><a href="#month" onclick="Data('month')">This Month</a></li>
    <li class="filter"><a href="#year" onclick="Data('year')">Year</a></li>
    <li class="filter"><a href="#last60" onclick="Data('last60')">60 Days</a></li>
    <li class="filter"><a href="#last90" onclick="Data('last90')">90 Days</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

When the user clicks on any of the tabs

  • all the remaining tabs should be unactive,
  • and the current current element/tab should be active,

My code above is not working.

  1. How to make the above code work?
  2. I only want to use javascript onclick for this. Is there any way that the this(current) object is send when the user clicks on the tab?

This question is related to javascript jquery html onclick

The answer is


Try like

<script>
function Data(string)
{      
  $('.filter').removeClass('active');
  $(this).parent('.filter').addClass('active') ;
} 
</script>

For the class selector you need to use . before the classname.And you need to add the class for the parent. Bec you are clicking on anchor tag not the filter.


You can use addEventListener to pass this to a JavaScript function.

HTML

<button id="button">Year</button>

JavaScript

(function () {
    var btn = document.getElementById('button');
    btn.addEventListener('click', function () {
        Date('#year');
    }, false);
})();

 function Data(string)
          {
                $('.filter').removeClass('active');
                $(this).parent().addClass('active') ;
          } 

You have two issues in your code.. First you need reference to capture the element on click. Try adding another parameter to your function to reference this. Also active class is for li element initially while you are tryin to add it to "a" element in the function. try this..

<div class="row" style="padding-left:21px;">
 <ul class="nav nav-tabs" style="padding-left:40px;">
      <li class="active filter"><a href="#month" onclick="Data('month',this)">This Month</a></li>
      <li class="filter"><a href="#year" onclick="Data('year',this)">Year</a></li>
      <li class="filter"><a href="#last60"  onclick="Data('last60',this)">60 Days</a></li>
      <li class="filter"><a href="#last90"  onclick="Data('last90',this)">90 Days</a></li>
    </ul> 

</div>

<script>
  function Data(string,element)
    { 
      //1. get some data from server according to month year etc.,
      //2. unactive all the remaining li's and make the current clicked element active by adding "active" class to the element
      $('.filter').removeClass('active');

      $(element).parent().addClass('active') ;

    } 
</script>

<div class="row" style="padding-left:21px;">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs" style="padding-left:40px;">
        <li class="active filter"><a href="#month" onclick="Data(this)">This Month</a></li>
        <li class="filter"><a href="#year" onclick="Data(this)">Year</a></li>
        <li class="filter"><a href="#last60" onclick="Data(this)">60 Days</a></li>
        <li class="filter"><a href="#last90" onclick="Data(this)">90 Days</a></li>
    </ul>

</div>

<script>
    function Data(element)
    {     
       element.removeClass('active');
       element.addClass('active') ;
    }
</script>
