Get jquery element for {on...

[alnico2001]

Is there any method for getting the jquery element when using data-link="{on ~myFunction}"?

myFunction(msg, ev, eventArgs) {
     jqElement = $(this); //this of course does not work
     jqElement = ev.target; //not sure if this can be used to get it

     jqElement.parent().find('.something');
}

If I put an id on the element, I could pass that to handler, that would work I guess.

I couldn't find anything here https://www.jsviews.com/#link-events

ev.target, and also eventArgs.linkCtx.elem will each return the HTML element.

If you want a jQuery object, you can do $(ev.target).

See this paragraph where it says:

• target: the HTML element where the click event occurred.

Does that cover what you need?

[alnico2001]

I did read that paragraph ;-)

My original (and only) test was $(ev.target).css('color', 'red'); // this does not work

Now after your response above, I did another test: $(ev.target).remove(); // this works

It appears that there are limitations?

However, when testing with this $(eventArgs.linkCtx.elem).css('color', 'red'); // this works

Note: I don't think I would have put this together (eventArgs.linkCtx.elem). I think I need to start a cheat sheet for myself ;-)

$(ev.target).css('color', 'red'); works for me.

Also, I would expect ev.target === eventArgs.linkCtx.elem.

Can you provide a sample/jsfiddle where $(ev.target).css('color', 'red'); does not work?

[BorisMoore]

Closing for now, since not a JsViews issue, I think. But please provide a jsfiddle, if $(ev.target).css('color', 'red'); is not working, and I will reopen.

Sorry for late response. Yes it works...I believe I had the function signature parameters/arguments mis-aligned. Apologies
