I've got the following scenario:
var el = 'li';
and there are 5
<li>
's on the page each with a
data-slide=number
attribute
(number being 1,2,3,4,5 respectively).
I now need to find the currently active slide number which is mapped to
var current = $('ul').data(current);
and is updated on each slide change.
So far my tries have been unsuccessful, trying to construct the selector that would match the current slide:
$('ul').find(el+[data-slide=+current+]);
does not match/return anything…
The reason I can't hardcode the
li
part is that this is a user accessible variable that can be changed to a different element if required, so it may not always be an
li
.
Any ideas on what I'm missing?
