I have two lists with images, Album and Favorites.
When clicking on a thumbnail in the Album I want to check if that image is already in the Favorites list.
I tried using :contains but returns false everytime. example here: http://jsfiddle.net/tunafish/yJ95f/1/
Is :contains the right option or should I go with real arrays?
The image lists are not long, max 20.
HTML:
<div id="album">
<p>Photo Album</p>
<ul class="gallery">
<li><img src="001.jpg" /></li>
<li><img src="002.jpg" /></li>
<li><img src="003.jpg" /></li>
<li><img src="004.jpg" /></li>
<li><img src="005.jpg" /></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="favorites">
<p>Favorites</p>
<ul class="gallery">
<li><img src="001.jpg" /></li>
<li><img src="002.jpg" /></li>
<li><img src="010.jpg" /></li>
</ul>
</div>
JS:
$("#album li img").click(function() {
var url = $(this).attr('src');
alert(isFavorite(url));
})
function isFavorite(url) {
return $("#favorites li img[src]:contains(" + url + ")").length > 0;
}
