7,864 PointsPlease help me... I have no idea why this isn't working
I've been working on this ALLL day and I can't figure this out. I think the issue is, because $curr isn't actually registering the current div that it's on.
If someone could at least point me in the right direction.. please. thank you
btw, I'm trying to make a simple next/previous slide...
You can find my non-working code at jsfiddle (https://jsfiddle.net/#&togetherjs=KGqCv78f64)
or here it is
HTML
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<div id="port_ex_1" class="port">
<div id="port_text_1">
<p> Portfolio 1 </p>
</div>
<div id="port_img_1" >
<div class="arrows" >
<a href="#"><img href="#" id="left-arrow" src="#"> prev </a>
<a href="#"><img href="#" id="right-arrow" src="#"> next </a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="port_ex_2" class="hide port">
<div id="port_text_1">
<p> PORTFOLIO 2 </p>
</div>
<div id="port_img_2">
<div class="arrows" >
<a href="#"><img href="#" id="left-arrow" src="#"> prev </a>
<a href="#"><img href="#" id="right-arrow" src="#"> next </a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
css
<style>
.hide {
display: none;
}
</style>
JS
<script>
var $curr = $(".port:not('hide')");
$('#left-arrow').on('click', function() {
alert("hello");
var i = $curr.index();
i--;
$curr.addClass('hide');
$('.port').eq(i).removeClass('hide');
});
$('#right-arrow').on('click', function() {
var i = $curr.index();
i = i >= $('.port').length-1 ? 0 : i+1;
alert($('.port').length);
$curr.addClass('hide');
$('.port').eq(i).removeClass('hide');
});
</script>

Also, your selector ".port:not('hide')" doesn't filter anything, since hide is not an element tag name. You probably want ".port:not(.hide)".
