i have a script like this:
<script>
var stuff = '<input id="testinput" name="testinput" type="text" value="this is the right one" /><input id="testinput2" name="testinput2" type="text" value="this is the wrong one" />'
</script>
How can I with jQuery get the value ("this is the wrong one") from the stuff variable?
Use .val method.
var value = $(stuff).val();
Update:
Did not notice there is multiple input in your string.
In the case, you need to use .map method to return the values as an array.
var stuff = '<input id="testinput" name="testinput" type="text" value="this is the one" /><input id="testinput2" name="testinput2" type="text" value="this is the wrong one" />';
console.log($(stuff).map(function() {
return $(this).val();
}));
var stuff = '<input id="testinput" name="testinput" type="text" value="this is the one" /><input id="testinput2" name="testinput2" type="text" value="this is the wrong one" />';
console.log($(stuff).val()); // This is the one
console.log($($(stuff)[1]).val()); // This is the wrong one
Use val() for getting the value or if you are after an attribute use .attr()
var v = $(stuff).val();
var attr = $(stuff).attr('attribute you want');
I had a similar issue with selectors failing, until I did this:
var stuff = '<input id="testinput" name="testinput" type="text" value="this is the one" /><input id="testinput2" name="testinput2" type="text" value="this is the wrong one" />';
var myValue = HtmlElementAttribute(stuff, 'testinput2', 'value');
function HtmlElementAttribute(htmlString, elementId, attributeName) {
var foundValue = '';
$(htmlString).filter(function (x) {
var idX = eval('$(htmlString)[x].id');
if (idX && idX == elementId) {
foundValue = $(eval('$(htmlString)[x].outerHTML')).attr(attributeName);
}
});
return foundValue;
}
