How could I know the id of the <div> in which a certain element is located?

  • 772

I add the "lady" inside an id of a certain box (this is done in a separate function)

$("#" + ladyid + "").appendTo("#" + boxid + "");

Well, what I want to know in the other function (the one below), is to know to which id (of the boxes) the queen has gone

setInterval(function() {

                var lady1 = ;
                var lady2 = ;
                var lady3 = ;
                var lady4 = ;
                var lady5 = ;
                var lady6 = ;
                var lady7 = ;
                var lady8 = ;

            });

What I want is for the program to know all the time in which div each element is located, and add this information to a variable

javascript

    You can do this using the property parent()to know which is the parent div in which the queen is located and then use it .attr('id')to get its id. I leave you an example so that you can see it more clearly:

    var dama = $("#dama").appendTo("#primero");
alert(dama.parent().attr('id'));
    .contenedor{
  position: relative;
  border: 1px white solid;
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
  background-color: blue;
}

#dama{
  position: absolute; 
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: yellow;
}
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="primero" class ="contenedor"></div>
<div id="segundo" class ="contenedor"></div>
<div id="dama"></div>

    In your case if you are in a different function you should use$("#dama").parent().attr('id');
