2.6k Views Asked by Max723 At 15 April 2025 at 06:57

Following is my html code.

<div class="panels" id="panels">
   <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel1' title = 'Learners Status' ></div>
   <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel2' title = 'ILR Status' ></div>
   <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel3' title = 'Test Graph' ></div>
</div>

I want to get all panel divs inside the 'panels' div.

Following code is not working for me.

var children = $("div.panels").children('div');
alert(children.length);

It may be that your code is not at the bottom of the page, in which case you have to explicitly require the code to wait for DOM ready event:

$(function() {
    var children = $("div.panels").children('div.panel');
    alert(children.length);
});

$(function() {
  var children = $('div.panels').children('div.panel');
  children.each(function() {
    $('pre.out').append( 'id: ' + this.id + ', title: ' + this.title + '<br>' );
  });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="panels" id="panels">
   <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel1' title = 'Learners Status' ></div>
   <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel2' title = 'ILR Status' ></div>
   <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel3' title = 'Test Graph' ></div>
</div>


<h1>Children Details</h1>
<pre class="out"></pre>

  function displayPanelsTitles() {
      var mainPanel = document.getElementById("panels").childNodes;
      
      alert("Panel 1 : " + mainPanel[1].title + " Panel 2 : " + mainPanel[3].title + " Panel 5 : " + mainPanel[5].title);
    }

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
      <head>
        <meta charset = "utf-8" />
        <title> test </title>
      </head>
      <body onload = "displayPanelsTitles()">
       <div class="panels" id="panels">
         <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel1' title = 'Learners Status' ></div>
         <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel2' title = 'ILR Status' ></div>
         <div class = 'panel' id = 'panel3' title = 'Test Graph' ></div>
        </div>
      </body>
    </html>

This one extract each div title. Hope it helps !
