I have a div .content with an HTML table as a JavaScript String. Within the .content element, there is a td .quantity I need to update the string.
I just tried this:
var content = $('.content').html();
content = $(content).parent().children('.quantity').text("6"); // []
content = $(content).parent().children('.quantity').text("6").html(); // null
I just want to output the string with the update value, kind of like a DOM based search and replace, any ideas?
Within the .content element, there is a td .quantity I need to update the string.
Try find() method:
var content = $('.content').html();
$(content).find('.quantity').text("6");
You can access it directly too:
$('.content').find('.quantity').text("6");
<td class="quantity>6</td> but i need the entire table to go back into the content variable.
find method in similar fashion.You could try
var content = $('.content table');
$('.quantity', content).text('6').end(); // will return `table`
You can try this to get String
$('.quantity', content).text('6').end().parent().html();
$('.quantity', content).text('6').end(); is an object. I need it to be a string.
