I'm doing a jeopardy board, and I've given each div (each question square) an id in the index.html so when it's clicked, the correct question appears. I also wanted to set the point value for each div based on its id, so I used the jquery .is and this if/else statement. I've only done the code for A1 and A2, but while A2 should be worth $200, it's coming back worth $100. Why?
if ($('.well').is('#A1', '#B1', '#C1', '#D1', '#E1')) {
questionValue = 100;
}
else if ($('.well').is('#A2', '#B2', '#C2', '#D2', '#E2')) {
questionValue = 200;
}
else if ($('.well').is('#A3', '#B3', '#C3', '#D3', '#E3')) {
questionValue = 300;
}
else if ($('.well').is('#A4', '#B4', '#C4', '#D4', '#E4')) {
questionValue = 400;
}
else if ($('.well').is('#A5', '#B5', '#C5', '#D5', '#E5')) {
questionValue = 500;
}
Thank you in advance. Please let me know if I should include any more code. .well is the div class for the question squares.

<h3> score = </h3>
<div class = "score">0</div>
</div>
And this is how I'm doing each question.
$("#A1").click(function() {
$(".question").show();
$('<h4>The \"MVP\" quarterback whose team is 14-6 when he doesn’t play.</h4>').appendTo('.question');
$('#submit').click(function() {
$("#answer").on('input')
var answer = $('#answer').val(); //what does this mean in words?
if
(answer == "Tom Brady" || answer == "Brady" || answer == "brady" || answer == "tom brady") {
$('.question').replaceWith('<h3>omg you\'re so smart</h3>') //using h3 because it'll be unique, but there must be a better way
score += questionValue;
$(".score").text("$" + score);
}
else
{
$('.question').replaceWith('<h3>could NOT have been more wrong</h3>');
score -= questionValue;
$(".score").text("$" + score);
}
}); });
Whatever you have implemented so far may be correct but I guess its very difficult to maintain that code. Also for any new person t will be quite uneasy to understand that logic. Please have a look at below approach. You may refer it and take an idea out of it:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".well").click(function() {
var quesVal = $(this).data("questionvalue"); //reading the questionvalue associated with each question
alert(quesVal);
});
});
.questionContainer {
width: 250px;
}
.questionContainer .well {
height: 40px;
width: 40px;
border: 1px solid red;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-top: 5px;
float: left;
/*Here you can also use display: inline-block instead of float:left*/
background: orange;
}
