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().

How to get the <html> tag HTML with JavaScript / jQuery?
(6 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I want to get the html element in Javascript. I can now use document.body.parentNode or document.getElementsByTagName("html"). But I think there should be a simple, "right" way to do it.
So, what's the right way to get the html element in Javascript?
I tried to use search engines, but I don't know how to tell them the html tag is different from any other HTML tag, so it yielded no result I wanted.
You can use:
document.documentElement
which points to the document's root html node.

I'd say document.getElementsByTagName, querySelector etc. are all "right ways" to get reference to html tag, it doesn't get simpler than that.

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 can I get the elements without a particular attribute by jQuery
(7 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I'm trying to use jquery to grab all select elements which do not have the "multiple" attribute set. I tried with the :not() but I can't get it quite right.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('select:not(multiple)').select2();
});
You forgot the attribute selector. What you're looking for there is "a <select> that is not a <multiple>"
$("select:not([multiple])").select2();
$('select:not([multiple])').select2();
or
$('select').not('[multiple]').select2();

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".

Closed 5 years ago.
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];
