hi guys im trying to hide a specific class selector in jquery. where the id and the type attributes are generated dynamically. but dont know how to select and hide it so, as to do a ajax call. can anyone help.

here is the code for the jquery:

 

$(".hidden_text_area").click(function(){
$(".hidden_edit_4_session").show();    
var hide_status=$(".statusboxes").attr('type');
$(hide_status).find(".statusboxes").hide();
});

 

and here is the code where the type attribute is which i want to select and hide if the user clicks edit button.

 

$status_list='<fieldset><div class="jumbotron"><div id="'.$updateid.'" type="'.$updateid.'" class="statusboxes">'
                        . '<h3 style="text-align:left; color:black;" class="pull-left">'.$title.'</h3>'

the code is now working after changing to this:

$(".hidden_text_area").click(function(){
$(".hidden_edit_4_session").show();    
var hide_status=$(".statusboxes").attr('div', 'type');
$(hide_status).hide();
});
