I have a textarea, where I'm displaying HTML data coming from my Database. Within that data there are several links. Some of them has a class some of them don't.
Sample html code:
<textarea class="txt-area">This contents. a <span>test</span> document. Please <a class="my-class" href="http://facebook.com/">do</a>. ignore it's <a class="my-class" href="http://google.com/">contents</a>.</textarea>
My question is, that how is it possible to search for those anchor tags (whithin the textarea) which has the specific class added and replace their HREF attribute?
Just parse the HTML with jQuery and play with it. You can then update the value after :
var $textarea = $('.txt-area');
var $html = $('<div>').html($textarea.val());
$html.find('.my-class').attr('href', 'newHREF');
$textarea.val($html.html());
Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/5VvfH/
First get value of text-area and then replace that class values
var htmlData = $('<div>').html($(".txt-area").val());
$(htmlData).find("a.ReqClass").each(function(){
alert($(this).attr("href"));
// and if you want to replace it then
$(this).attr("href","newHref");
});

In my angular component,
<div contentEditable="true" id="mytext" ></div>
<button type="button" (click)="goSee()">SEE ME !</button>
In class,there is goSee() method because I want to change selected text(later url) to a real clickable href.
goSee()
{
var startIndex = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).startOffset;
var endIndex = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).endOffset;
var slicedText = document.getElementById("mytext").innerText.slice(startIndex, endIndex);
document.getElementById("mytext").innerHTML.anchor(slicedText);
}
Entering url to "mytext" and selectedText works,,But NO hyperlink and clickable link appears .... Please Suggest me and Thank you all in advance..
First, you have to use link method to create anchor with the href attribute. Second, innerHTML is a property and you have to set it. Assuming that slicedText is a url you want to put into href attribute, you can achieve what you're trying to do like this:
var existingLinkText = document.getElementById("mytext").innerHTML;
document.getElementById("mytext").innerHTML = existingLinkText.link(slicedText);
Also, if your template is part of the component's template, I would suggest to use ElementRef to get access to the DOM instead of global document.
How to get the html of element itself using Jquery html. In the below code I would like get the input element inside div using JQuery as shwon below
<div id="content">content div</div>
<input type='text' id="scheduledDate" class="datetime" />
$(function() {
console.log($('#scheduledDate').html('dsadasdasd'));
$('#content').html($('#scheduledDate').html());
});
EDIT:
Can I get the $("#scheduledDate") as string which represent the real html code of the input box, because my final requirement is I want to pass it to some other SubView( I am using backboneJS) and eventually use that html code in a dust file.
My original requirement was to get that input field as string so that I can pass it to some other function. I know, if I keep it inside a DIV or some other container, I can get the html by using .html method of JQuery. I dont want use some other for that purpose. I am just trying to get html content of the input box itself using it's id.
If you want to move the input element into div, try this:
$('#content').append($('#scheduledDate'));
If you want to copy the input element into div, try this:
$('#content').append($('#scheduledDate').clone());
Note: after move or copy element, the event listener may need be registered again.
$(function() {
var content = $('#content');
var scheduledDate = $('#scheduledDate');
content.empty();
content.append(scheduledDate.clone());
});
As the original author has stated that they explicitly want the html of the input:
$(function() {
var scheduledDate = $('#scheduledDate').clone();
var temporaryElement = $('<div></div>');
var scheduleDateAsString = temporaryElement.append(scheduledDate).html();
// do what you want with the html such as log it
console.log(scheduleDateAsString);
// or store it back into #content
$('#content').empty().append(scheduleDateAsString);
});
Is how I would implement this. See below for a working example:
https://jsfiddle.net/wzy168xy/2/
A plain or pure JavaScript method, can do better...
scheduledDate.outerHTML //HTML5
or calling by
document.getElementById("scheduledDate").outerHTML //HTML4.01 -FF.
should do/return the same, e.g.:
>> '<input id="scheduledDate" type="text" value="" calss="datetime">'
if this, is what you are asking for
fiddle
p.s.: what do you mean by "calss" ? :-)
This can be done the following ways:
1.Input box moved to the div and the div content remains along with the added input
$(document).ready(function() {
var $inputBox = $("#scheduledDate");
$("#content").append($inputBox);
});
2.The div is replaced with the copy of the input box(as nnn pointed out)
$(document).ready(function() {
var $inputBox = $("#scheduledDate");
var $clonedInputBox = $("#scheduledDate").clone();
$("#content").html($clonedInputBox);
});
Div is replaced by the original input box
$(document).ready(function() {
var $inputBox = $("#scheduledDate");
$("#content").html($inputBox);
});

EDIT 1:
to get the input html as string inside the div itself use this
$("#scheduledDate").prop('outerHTML')
This will give the input objects html as string
Check this js fiddle and tell if this is what you need

Here is my current code:
<a class="mg_label_7" href="/" shape="">Hello</a>
I want to have:
<a class="mg_label_7" href="/" shape=""><div id="hello">Hello</div></a>
So I can manipulate the background of the link text without changing the rest of the link areas text. Is there anyway to pinpoint this piece of text and insert a div or even a span using JavaScript/jQuery?
I've been trying to do this for around 3 hours, the closest I've got to achieving it is using
var elem = document.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
var html = elem.innerHTML;
elem.innerHTML = '<div class="red">'+ html + '</div>'
which successfully targeted a link in my code and changed it to the span, but if I try to getElementsByTagName then getElementByClassName and use mg_label_7 it won't work. There are duplicates of the tag in the code and I want to target all of them.
I'm trying to manipulate a SharePoint web part so I'm not sure if it's stopping it from being edited.
You can use .wrapInner()
$('.mg_label_7').wrapInner('<div id="hello"></div>')
My first SO question! Here's what I am trying to do:
I'm rewriting a tool that generates some code a user can paste directly into Craigslist and other classified ad posting websites. I have created a list of websites (they populate from a database with PHP) the user can choose from with a radio button, and I want their choice to populate as bare text (not a link) between some <p></p> elements in a textarea. I'm using jQuery for this.
Textarea before the user chooses:
<p id="thing"></p>
Textarea after the user chooses:
<p id="thing">www.somewebsite.com</p>
HTML
<input type="radio" name="sitechoice" value="www.websiteone.com">www.websiteone.com<br />
<input type="radio" name="sitechoice" value="www.secondwebs.com">www.secondwebs.com
<textarea>
Some stuff already in here
Here is the website you chose:
<p id="thing"></p>
More stuff already here.
</textarea>
JS
$(document).ready(function () {
$("input").change(function () {
var website = $(this).val();
alert(website);
$("#thing2").html(website);
});
});
JS Fiddle (With comments)
If you see the JS Fiddle, you can see that I put another p element on the page outside the textarea, and it updates just fine, but the one inside the textarea does not. I have read many other like questions on SO and I'm starting to think that I can't change an element that's between textarea tags, I can only change the entire textarea itself. Please, lead me to enlightenment!
You actually can fairly easily manipulate the text contents of the textarea like it is part of the DOM, by transforming its contents into a jQuery object.
Here is a jsFiddle demonstrating this solution: http://jsfiddle.net/YxtH4/2/
The relevant code, inside the input change event:
// Your normal code
var website = $(this).val();
$("#thing2").html(website);
// This turns the textarea's val into a jQuery object ...
// And inserts it into an empty div that is created
var textareaHtml = $('<div>' + $("#textarea").val() + '</div>');
// Here you can do your normal selectors
textareaHtml.find("#thing").html(website);
// And this sets the textarea's content to the empty div's content
$("#textarea").val(textareaHtml.html());
The empty div wrapping your HTML is so that you can easily retrieve it as a string later using jQuery's .html() method, and so the parse does not fail if additional text is entered around the p element inside the textarea.
The real magic is $($("#textarea").val()), which takes your textarea's text and parses it into an HTML node contained in a jQuery object.
It can't do it the way that you are thinking (i.e., manipulate it as if it were a DOM element), but it is still accessible as the value of the textarea, so you can retrieve it like that, use basic string manipulation to alter it, and then set the updated string as the new value of the textarea again.
Something like this . . . first give the <textarea> an id value:
<textarea id="taTarget">
Some stuff already in here
Here is the website you chose:
<p id="thing"></p>
More stuff already here.
</textarea>
Then alter your script like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("input").change(function () {
var website = $(this).val();
var currentTAVal = $("#taTarget").val();
$("#taTarget").val(currentTAVal.replace(/(<p id="thing">)([^<]*)(<\/p>)/, "$1" + website + "$3"));
});
});
Unless you need the <p> element in there, you might consider using a more simple placeholder, since it won't actually act as an HTML element within the textarea. :)
EDIT : Fixed a typo in the .replace() regex.
I know that this answer is a little bit late, but here it goes =)
You can do exactly the way you want to do. But for that, you need to implement a small trick.
by having this HTML
<input type="radio" name="sitechoice" value="www.websiteone.com">www.websiteone.com
<br />
<input type="radio" name="sitechoice" value="www.secondwebs.com">www.secondwebs.com
<p id="thing2"></p>
<textarea id="textarea">
<p id="thing"></p>
</textarea>
you can edit textarea content, as a DOM by implementing something like the function changeInnerText
$(document).ready(function () {
$("input").change(function () {
var website = $(this).val(); // Gets value of input
changeInnerText(website);
//$("#thing").html(website); // Changes
//$("#thing2").html(website); // Does not change
});
var changeInnerText = function(text) {
var v = $("#textarea").val();
var span = $("<span>");
span.html(v);
var obj = span.find("#thing")[0];
$(obj).html(text);
console.log(obj);
console.log(span.html());
$("#textarea").val(span.html());
}
});
As you can see, I just get the information from the textarea, I create a temporary variable span to place textarea's content. and then manipulate it as DOM.
Instead of attempting to insert the text into the <p> element, insert the text into <textarea> element and include the <p> tag. Something like this should do the trick:
Change:
$("#thing").html(website);
to:
$("textarea").html('<p id="thing">'+website+'</p>');
And here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/nR94s/
I'm trying to get nodes containing text from html file using Javascript and jQuery.
if I have a node like
`
<div>txt0
<span>txt1</span>
txt2
</div>
How can I select elements that meets this criteria??
Meaning, I need to retrieve thedivand thespan` , and it would be even better to know location of the text.
I'm trying to get the text to replace it with images in a later function.
I tried this
`
$('*').each(function(indx, elm){
var txt = $(elm).text();
// my code to replace text with images here
});
`
but it does not get the required results.. it does all the parsing in the first element, and changes the html totally.
I don't know exactly what you're trying to solve, but perhaps you can be a bit more specific with your selector?
$("div span").text(); // returns 'txt1'
$("div").text(); // returns 'txt0txt1txt2'
By adding ids and/or classes to your html, you can be very specific:
<div class="name">Aidan <span class="middlename">Geoffrey</span> Fraser</div>
...
// returns all spans with class
// "middlename" inside divs with class "name"
$("div.name span.middlename").text();
// returns the first span with class
// "middlename" inside the fourth div
// with class "name"
$("div.name[3] span.middlename[0]").text();
JQuery has pretty good documentation of these selectors.
If this doesn't help, consider explaining the problem you're trying to solve.
Your markup structure is a bit uneasy. Consider changing to something like this
<div>
<span>txt0</span>
<span>txt1</span>
<span>txt2</span>
</div>
Then using jQuery
$("div span").each(function(k,v) {
$(this).html("<img src=\""+v+".jpg\" />"); //replace with the image
});
