JQuery :: Wrap On The Contents Of The Selected Element?
Sep 16, 2009
I know how to write this: $("li.subnav").wrap("<a href='#' id='video'></a>");
But it renders as <a id="video" href="#">
<li class="subnav">Blogs</li>
</a>
What I need is:
<li class="subnav"><a id="video" href="#">Blogs</a></li>
So how can I wrap the contents of li.subnav instead of the li elements themselves? I would also love to know how I could use the contents for example "Blogs" to set the id of the link. <a id="blogs" for the blogs link etc.
I searched about this problem over Internet and found the same result many times, I found this example on stackoverflow [URL] but this example didn't work in my project; I am making a toolbar with buttons that insert HTML tags around the selected text in a <textarea>, this exemple didn't work because when the user click on a button the selected text won't be selected anymore because <textarea> loses focus and selected text will be unselected, I am targeting Firefox and compatible browsers so you don't need to give me the IE code; jQuery codes are accepted;
I just have a question regarding the wrap attribute of the <textarea> element. I am using Programmer's Notepad. I am doing an example using the split() method in JavaScript. On the <textarea> element, it has specified that I use the 'wrap' attribute, yet when I enter this code, my attribute highlights red (which usually means that you have made a spelling mistake with the element/attribute). Now, obviously I know I haven't spelt wrap wrong and it certainly tells me in this book that you can use this attribute, so is this attribute deprecated?
I'm trying to simply replace a certain string from the contents of an element, I tried this: <div id="errorCont">Microsoft and Apple</div> var ErrorContText=$("#errorCont").html(); ErrorContText=ErrorContText.replace("Apple","No one"); $("#errorCont").html(ErrorContText); So the div SHOULD now say "Microsoft and No one", but it's not working.
I am just working on a project where i have to replace the href-attributes of all links by another string. The problem is, that i need the old href-attribute to generate the new one, and i have no idea how to get it
i tried it with something like this, but it doesnt work [code]...
I know there is some way to do it but i forgot it and i looked up the whole internet for it and didnt find it
What I’m trying to accomplish is set an attribute called opacityin any element with a specified value that can be used to toggle whenever the user hovers over the element. The code below works perfectly but one other thing I would like to be able to do is retrieve the attribute opacity after the document loads and fade the element to that value instead of hard coding the ".66". This is probably fairly easy I've just never ran into a situation where I needed to do this.[code]...
i try to make thing like this: My list is like below:
< ul id="cssdropdown"> <li class="headlink"> Search Engines <ul> <li>Home</li>
[Code]...
</ul> what i want is, when i click the <li>(home,downloads..),i will take its value and i write the value instead of "Search engine". How can i make this?
I would like to, for debugging purposes, obtain the contents of a <script> element. I'm aware that the text property contains the text contained within the element. However, the <script> element I'm interested is an external script, specified with the src attribute. Is there a way to access the linked contents of such an element?
Is it possible in Javascript to Size an element to its contents?
I have resizable divs with overflow=auto, and I'd like to plot them initially with fixed width and at the minimum height which will avoid the appearance of y-scrollbars.
I would be fine if I could find the actual total length of the included document given the current width of the div. (Calculating it would seem to be difficult, given unknown wrapping algorithms, empty lines, etc.)
Or somewhat less fine, even if I could question whether there is overflow, or clipping, or whether scrollbars have been added to the div, given the current height.
I could then hack the height till the overflow or clip or scrollbars went away. (Yuk!)
But I can't find any css or other read-only properties I could query that would give me any of those values.
I assume that YOffset or scrollY wouldn't help, since they would be 0 when the bottom is clipped off. (I don't even know if they're even defined for divs.)
I haven't been able to find a "scroll Object" that would say whether the scroll bar is showing.
="theOptions1 " name ="theOptions1 "> <option> [Code]....
I want to pass it to a function that will show me the selected element: $(function() { $('#theOptions' + 2)).filterOn('#theOptions' +1, { 'a': ['a'], '1': ['1'] });}); here is a part of the function:
I have a bunch of DIVs (not an <option> List) each of the class "SongListItem". For one of the DIVs at a time, I set a "Selected" attribute, so it sort of acts like a ListBox. So two rows in the list might look like: <div id="Item1" class="SongListItem">Item 1 Text</div> <div id="Item2" Selected="True"class="SongListItem">Item2 Text</div>
Now I want to write a jQuery function which gets the ID of the SongListItem div that has Selected="True". So far, I have tried: var SongID= $('.SongListItem[selected="True"]').attr("id"); and var SongID= $('.SongListItem[selected="True"]').get(0).attr("id"); In both cases, I get a "Object does not support this method."
I have a dropdown with following elements [code]...
I want that once i select one element (AAA)from the dropdown and click on a button...it should set the selected element to none...so that i can make my second selection from the dropdown..
I am trying to detect the DOM element on a unkown web page from thecurrent selected text on that page.Which means: I select text on a web page and then I would like to getthe dom element to which this text belongs.What I came up with was something like that: (imagin we selected theword John on that page....)var array = $("*:contains('John')"); ---> get all domelements that contain the text 'John'But, instead of returning all dom elements that contain 'John' , itreturns only the path from the HTML element to the P element thatcontains the text 'John'. (HTML->Body->P)Did I miss something ? Is there a complete different way to accomplish
I am trying to display a rel of each option as they are selected into a div below it . There are several selects of classProductAvailability on the page. When one of the selects changes, I'd like the value of the rel of the selected option to display.At first it seems to work, but only if you start by changing the last pull down menu. The trouble seems to be in the"select.ProductAvailability option:selected", this needs to be written for this instance, not all of the selects of that class on the page. How do I write that, I've tried$(this+" option:selected") but it won't take.
I'm trying to make a form element only appear if a radio button has been selected.I have two buttons (yes and no).If Yes is selected I'd like a text input field to appear.I have the following:
my group of radio buttons are named "scheme". I have tried this from a few angles but can't crack it. Ideally I'd like to use input:radio[value:yes]. It's already a required value due to the JQuery validation plugin, and I simply need it to make the other field visible when yes is clicked on.
Anyway, i need to change the selected item in a select dropdown list in html. Obviously i want to change it with javascript. For example i've got tree items add/edit/delete and if the user presses add (button) the selected item will be add.
How do I restore CSS properties for a selected element? I want to change the background-color of a particular item on click, then restore the original CSS bgcolor from the stylesheet when it's clicked a 2nd time.
The item in question has a CSS class applied to it from the stylesheet.
n the following script, I am trying to set selection to a select option element, that is newly created within the script. It works fine on IE installations on Windows 2000 and some XP machines. But on some XP machines, the selection doesn't happen and it defaults to the first element in the options array. Has anybody come across this problem ? Any known workarounds?
