Hi, I'm in a situation in which I need to use .wrap and :first-child.
This is what I am doing:
<script>$("a").wrap("<div class='category-wrapper'></div>");</script>
<script>$("div.category-wrapper:first-child").addClass("first");</script>
This should render a div.category-wrapper outside a link and then add a "first" class to every first div.category-wrapper.
The output is:
<div class="category-wrapper"><a href="#">Test</a></div>
Which is good! However, I am not able to get the "first-child" to work (it doesn't adds the "first" class). If I use it somewhere else it works so I am sure it's something related to the dynamic rendering of the previous element.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Sample output would be:
<div class="category-wrapper"><a href="#">Test #1</a></div>
<div class="category-wrapper"><a href="#">Test #2</a></div>
<div class="category-wrapper"><a href="#">Test #3</a></div>
<div class="category-wrapper"><a href="#">Test #4</a></div>
Desired output:
<div class="category-wrapper first"><a href="#">Test #1</a></div>
<div class="category-wrapper"><a href="#">Test #2</a></div>
<div class="category-wrapper"><a href="#">Test #3</a></div>
<div class="category-wrapper"><a href="#">Test #4</a></div>
However, I am not able to make it work.
