How to change a text with jQuery
(8 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a javascript code. The code always appends some text to an old one. But I dont want that the text is attached to the old text. Instead, I want that it replaces the old text.
Here is the code line:
$("#werkstatt").append("Text");
How can I do that?
Thank you very much!
You have to use empty() method.
$("#werkstatt").empty().append("Text");
or simply you should use .text() method.
$("#werkstatt").text("Text");

How to change label text?
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm trying to set the value of label using Jquery. I've tried .HTML(), .Val(), and .innerHTML but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.
JavaScript
$("#txtObjective").val(responseData[0].objective);
HTML
<label class="puma_Label" id="txtObjective"></label>
Use textContent (.text() in jQuery). Only input elements have a value property.
$("#txtObjective").text(responseData[0].objective);
Mandatory vanilla explanation:
document.getElementById("txtObjective").textContent = responseData[0].objective;
As for the html options -- those are simply bad practice to use here. Unless you're rendering HTML, never use innerHTML or html().

Getting Textarea Value with jQuery
(5 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have a textarea in which I am populating a database record. I want to access the same value in textarea in jquery.
<textarea id="contact_address1"><%= #contact[:address1] %></textarea>
How do I do it? Pleasse help!
What you are looking for is jQuery's val() function:
$( "textarea#contact_address1").val();
Take a look: http://api.jquery.com/val/
Try
$("#contant_address1").text();
and let be sure that the id of your textarea should be "contant_address1".

Remove all child elements of a DOM node in JavaScript
(37 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I found some jQuery code to clear the contents of a div:
$('#masterdiv').empty();
Is there any similar way to do this in raw javascript, without jQuery or any other library?
This code will work.
while (myNode.firstChild) {
myNode.removeChild(myNode.firstChild);
}
Mention the id of the tag on myNode for which you want to remove the inner child.
Please have a look on

<div class="btn-post">123</div>
$(".btn-post").html("")

I know there's a way to do this, but I cannot recall how.
How do I go about grabbing the HTML element (top-most element in the DOM), using plain JavaScript?
Use document.documentElement.
See the docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/documentElement
var html = document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0];
