I am using $().html to manipulate DOM elements, as an example:
jQuery('#basic).html(..some data...);
I then alter the DOM using a div and id as part of the HTML document. For example.
<div id='basic>change this</div>
This is absolutely fine when manipulating simple things (like numbers or text such as the above) - but when I wish to manipulate a specific attribute of an element wrapped within a div
At the moment I am using $().html to insert the entire element and its attribute list, but this is very cumbersome,inelegantand fault prone (and doesn't seem to work well using JSON).
I can't seem to find a method to Modify Attribute !!
I'm working on a navigation menu where I want to insert some html after a UL element.
Here's the statement: selUL.eq(x+1).after('<b>hello</b></div><div class="subMenu">'); I'm trying to insert it after the following <ul> element: <div class="subMenu"> <ul
[Code]...
It's like it's trying to auto correct me. I need it to print everything exactly as I have it, otherwise my navigation won't divide into separate columns. Anyone have an idea why it's doing this? If I remove the <div> elements and just use the <b> element it works fine.
EDIT: After some more testing, the After method seems to strip out any closing elements not yet opened (</div>) and automatically closes any elements opened but not closed (<div class="subMenu">). Anyone know of a way to stop this from happening?
I am trying to add some HTML into a <p> element by using an AJAX request that gets a txt file with my HTML in it. That code works fine but the problem I get is that I need to enter in the path to the file dynamically. I guess I could use PHP on the server for this but I am not sure how (im not too good with PHP yet, but it is installed on my server). C# would work too as I have .NET configured as well (but again I dont know it very well).[code]I would like to replace the "linkHere" with the file path attribute I am grabbing from an XML file.I am doing that like this:$(this).attr('filePath').substr(3).replace("\","/")+$ 9this).attr('label');this works fine to make the path correctly but I need a way to inject this into the HTML/txt file to replace the "linkHere".I have an <img>with an onclick event that calls a function I made to do all this.

I just started to learn jquery. The sitepoint book I picked up and my online research did not yield any results for what I am trying to do.
Basically I have a ul with li in it. I have the ul's width set so that only 4 LI's are displayed in one row and then the next set of 4 gets displayed in next row, etc.
Can I use jquery to simply say 'after each set of 4 li, insert a graphic' .. or insert some html code.
I want a graphical separator between sets of <li>'s
I stumbled upon something which may be by design in jQuery for security reasons, it may be the browsers doing it, but... I found that any JavaScript I try to put into the html of an object is ignored. For example, say username is a variable that was already defined with the user's name:
$("#test").html("Hi there <script type='text/ javascript'>document.write(username);</script>. ");
All the script is just stripped out, in both IE and Firefox.
I need to insert a "</td><td>" after an element with a class that is generated dynamically by PHP. I've discovered that jQuery automatically reverses this back to <td></td>. Is there any workaround? I've tried .after and .insertAfter -- they work for inserting everything except "backwards" element tags.
I want to get the text from a link <a href="">text_I_want_to_get_from_here</a> and insert it after into an input element <input type="text" name="want_to_have_here" value=""> by using jQuery.
I found something with $("#myid").html() to get this, but I am not sure how to use it, really tried but I am a freshman.
I am not sure - I made ajax call through jquery form plugin, return response is HTML fragments, and inserted to a <div> place holder, work as expected.However, previous HTML segments have binding events (such as click) seems lost after the insertion ... is this expected behavior? and what are the proper way to re-instate those events?
My plan was to insert an HTML string from a JSON file into the DOM. As an example for the format, see [url]. I was wondering how I could get the parse.text['*'] inserted into the DOM.
I have a databound control that I'm trying to add a menu that will show up only when the user rolls over the area. I am trying to append the rollover menu to each data container. I am able to append the menu, but the problem is that I cannot select the menu after it has been created to add say a click function to it. Basically, I am trying to append a menu that only shows up when a user rolls over the container (such as a <div>) and I would like to add some function to the newly created element. The problem is that I cannot assign the rollover menu an ID because although I could select them at that point it will assign the function to all of the ID's which won't really do me any good.
However what i'd like to do is submit the form items using serializeArray but then return multiple items from the php script and insert them in multiple places on the page, not just in the form itself.
I know i could simply use that line of code 4 times over with 4 different html targets but i don't feel it is very efficient or DRY. So i'd like to know the best way to submit multiple values to a php script, return multiple responses and use those responses in multiple places in the html.
I'm having some problems understanding the append() function. What I'd like to do is select an element using it's ID and add a row to the table with a HTML form element. The table is dynamically generated using a Django template ( form.as_table() ) so I'm not able to alter the original HTML markup too much.
I have known insertBefore which insert HTML tag before another HTML tag. Now I want insert HTML tag AFTER another HTML tag. I searched, but not found. There isn't insertAfter ....
I have this site that uses AJAX, I have a basic understanding of AJAX and javascript.[code]This is executed with a onclick event on a div tag. The supposed reaction is for the ajax to pull echoed html code (an image and a title inside a <p> tag) from the write2.php page which has no problems and replace whatever is inside of the Div tag with that. The Div tag by the way already has an image and a title inside a <p> tag.[code]
I am trying to use the lalit.lab font detector in order to serve different style sheets based on what fonts the user has installed. My problem is that I don't know how to insert the <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/css1.css"> into the HTML via javascript. The code I have is something like this (i know it's not actually javascript code):
Code: if (detective.test('candara')) { // tests if the font is installed <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/css1.css"> // here it should write to the html la link to the css } else { <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/css2.css"> }
I found something but it only works with html elements:
I'm a newbie to JavaScript and Greasemonkey and just started learning with 'Dive Into Greasemonkey'. I looked for an example on the web, but unfortunately I'm still missing something...
I have a text file which is a simple database:
Key01 Text01 Url01 Key02 Text02 Url02 ....
I'd like to insert after
<a href="anUrl" class="thisClass">Key01<a>
the element
<a href="Url01">Text01<a>
