I have implemented this function (libphonenumber javascript )in a website http://www.phoneformat.com/
How do i get the value returned by this html tag. Whether Yes or No
< DIV id="phone_valid" class="popup-value"></DIV>'
I have tried this
function checkSubmit(){
var country=$("#phone_valid").val();
if(country=="No")
{
alert("Not a valid number");
return false;
}
So far no luck
The .val() method is primarily used to get the values of form elements such as input, select and textarea.
Use
$("#phone_valid").text();
to get DIV text content or
$("#phone_valid").html();
if you want markup.
First, no space between < and div (saw here: < DIV id="phone_valid" class="popup-value"></DIV>' )
Second:
function checkSubmit(){
var country=$("#phone_valid").text(); // it is a div not input to get val().
if(country=="No")
{
alert("Not a valid number");
return false;
}
You probably want to do this:
$("#phone_valid").html();
or
$("#phone_valid").text();
you can use this:
document.getElementById("phone_valid").innerHTML;
.val() is for form elements. You should use .text() or .html() to get the value from a DIV.
HTML
<DIV id="phone_valid" class="popup-value"></DIV>
JavaScript
function checkSubmit(){
var country=$("#phone_valid").html();
if(country=="No")
{
alert("Not a valid number");
return false;
}
}
Hope this helps!
In vanilla JavaScript you can use document.getElementById to get a specific node using ID:
var node = document.getElementById('phone_valid');
And then to get the text from that node you will need to use:
var text = node.innerText || node.textContent;
The jQuery .val() method is used on form fields like input, textarea, select...
If you need to include HTML comments then consider using contents() method
$('#mydiv').contents()
Other wise html() method or even text() will be what you are looking for because val() purpose is for form elements ;)
divuse eitherinnerHTMLortextContentand notval. In jQuery the equivalents would behtml()ortext()..val()return ?, if it returnsundefinedmaybe you need to use.html()or.text()
