Find and hide div (jQuery)

Question

<a rel="abc" href="#mydiv">link</a>
<div id="mydiv">content</div>

If rel="abc", find element with ID that matches href value and hide it.

My try:

$('[rel*=abc]').attr("href").hide();

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

var identifier = $('a[rel="abc"]').attr('href');
$('#'+identifier').hide();

I think this may solve your problem. I didn't test it, though.

Answer 2

$('a[rel=abc]').click( function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    $(event.target.href.substr(event.href.indexOf('#'))).hide();
});

Hides the appropriate element if such a link is clicked.

edit: tested

Answer 3

$("a[rel='abc']").click(function(event){
  event.preventDefault();
  var val = $(this).attr("href");
  $("div"+val).hide();
});

Answer 4

$( $("a[rel='abc']").attr("href") ).hide();

Answer 5

$('a[rel=abc]').each(function() { $(this.href.substr(this.href.indexOf('#'))).hide(); });

Some error checking would be good too.

Answer 6

$("a[rel=abc]").each(function(i, ele) {
    $(ele.hash).hide();
});

or if you want that to happen on click

$("a[rel=abc]").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $(this.hash).hide();
});
