I would create document fragments with your removed lis and then reappend them to the location you want them. In this case, I reappended them to the body: $(function(){ var $bigList = $(‘#bigList’), group; while((group = $bigList.find(‘li:lt(20)’).remove()).length){ $(‘<ul/>’).append(group).appendTo(‘body’); } }); Live Demo is at: http://jsbin.com/ejigu/33
newlist = oldlist[::-1] The [::-1] slicing (which my wife Anna likes to call “the Martian smiley”;-) means: slice the whole sequence, with a step of -1, i.e., in reverse. It works for all sequences. Note that this (and the alternatives you mentioned) is equivalent to a “shallow copy”, i.e.: if the items are mutable and … Read more
TL;DR: an <li> can contain any element that is valid in <body>. In the HTML 4.01 spec for lists you’ll find the relevant extract of the DTD: <!ELEMENT LI – O (%flow;)* — list item –> This specifies that an <li> may contain flow content, which is the collection of all block and inline elements. … Read more
For semantic correctness. HTML has the ability to express lists of things, and it helps the Google robot, screen readers, and all manner of users who don’t care solely about the presentation of the site understand your content better.
var ul = document.querySelector(‘ul’); for (var i = ul.children.length; i >= 0; i–) { ul.appendChild(ul.children[Math.random() * i | 0]); } This is based on Fisher–Yates shuffle, and exploits the fact that when you append a node, it’s moved from its old place. Performance is within 10% of shuffling a detached copy even on huge lists … Read more
WARNING: size() was deprecated in jQuery 1.8 and removed in jQuery 3.0, use .length instead Working Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/cse_tushar/6FzSb/ $(document).ready(function () { size_li = $(“#myList li”).size(); x=3; $(‘#myList li:lt(‘+x+’)’).show(); $(‘#loadMore’).click(function () { x= (x+5 <= size_li) ? x+5 : size_li; $(‘#myList li:lt(‘+x+’)’).show(); }); $(‘#showLess’).click(function () { x=(x-5<0) ? 3 : x-5; $(‘#myList li’).not(‘:lt(‘+x+’)’).hide(); }); }); New … Read more
You can exploit fact that trailing and line trailing white space automatically collapses: document.write( ‘word<b style=”background: red; outline: 1px solid blue;”> </b>’ .repeat(42) ); As you can see there are red spaces with blue outlines between words, but the very last and and two at line ends lack the red area because it’s width collapsed … Read more
List items are normally block elements. Turn them into inline elements via the display property. In the code you gave, you need to use a context selector to make the display: inline property apply to the list items, instead of the list itself (applying display: inline to the overall list will have no effect): #ul_top_hypers … Read more
Not really. Your padding is (probably) being applied to the list item, so will only affect the actual content within the list item. Using a combination of background and padding styles can create something that looks similar e.g. li { background: url(images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left top; /* <– change `left` & `top` too for extra control … Read more
Put its content in a span which is relatively positioned, then you can control the space by the left property of the span. li span { position: relative; left: -10px; } <ul> <li><span>item 1</span></li> <li><span>item 2</span></li> <li><span>item 3</span></li> </ul>
