Hi I need to edit some links on a page. Using the below code works but causes other problems on the page. I need the code to only affect elements with a certain input id. I also can't just replace the links as a query will be dynamically added to the end of each link. So in summary i just need to replace parts of all links with an input id "btnViewDetails". Any help would be great I'm very stuck. Cheers
<script language="javascript">
document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/JobSeekers/g,'mobile');
document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/JobPositionDetail.aspx/g,'JobPositionDetail_Mobile.aspx');
</script>
var someVariable = document.getElementsByClassName('btnViewDetails');
(you should use class instead of ID, if it is not a unique value).
someVariable is now an array holding all elements with class name btnViewDetails.
Now replace the text you want to replace only on the href values of you elements (you will have to loop over them):
for (i = 0; i < someVariable.length; i++) {
someVariable[i].href // do your replaces here
}

I have this link on my web page:
Terms and conditions
I want to use Jquery to check whether this specific link is present or not on the web page. I know how to check if text is present on a page, but am struggling a little with links. If it helps, it is only the terms-conditions-mywebsite bit that I need to use (as mywebsite changes depending on who is using the site).
The class is footer so I have tried $('.footer:contains("terms-conditions") but this doesn't seem to work. Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks so much :)
Edit: I need to check that the actual specific contents of this links is present, rather than the text 'Terms and conditions'
You should check the value of href attribute. You can use Attribute Contains Selector [name*=”value”] which select elements that have the specified attribute with a value containing a given substring:
The following should work:
if($('a[href*=terms-conditions]').length){
//exist
}
OR: Check the link string directly
if($('a:contains("Terms and conditions")').length){
//exist
}
I would look at doing this with Javascript, as it's very straightforward and means you are not reliant on JQuery should you wish to remove JQuery from the site at a later date.
// get <a> elements
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
// loop through each <a>
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
// get each href
var hrefs = links[i].getAttribute("href");
// check href against the one you want
if (hrefs == "https://www.google.com") {
// check content of link
console.log('link content:', links[i].innerHTML)
}
}
When a user create a message there is a multibox and this multibox is connected to a design panel which lets users change fonts, color, size etc.. When the message is submited the message will be displayed with html tags if the user have changed color, size etc on the font.
Note: I need the design panel, I know its possible to remove it but this is not the case :)
It's a Sharepoint standard, The only solution I have is to use javascript to strip these tags when it displayed. The user should only be able to insert links, images and add linebreaks.
Which means that all html tags should be stripped except <a></a>, <img> and <br> tags.
Its also important that the attributes inside the the <img> tag that wont be removed. It could be isplayed like this:
<img src="/image/Penguins.jpg" alt="Penguins.jpg" style="margin:5px;width:331px;">
How can I accomplish this with javascript?
I used to use this following codebehind C# code which worked perfectly but it would strip all html tags except <br> tag only.
public string Strip(string text)
{
return Regex.Replace(text, #"<(?!br[\x20/>])[^<>]+>", string.Empty);
}
Any kind of help is appreciated alot
Does this do what you want? http://jsfiddle.net/smerny/r7vhd/
$("body").find("*").not("a,img,br").each(function() {
$(this).replaceWith(this.innerHTML);
});
Basically select everything except a, img, br and replace them with their content.
Smerny's answer is working well except that the HTML structure is like:
var s = '<div><div>Link<span> Span</span><li></li></div></div>';
var $s = $(s);
$s.find("*").not("a,img,br").each(function() {
$(this).replaceWith(this.innerHTML);
});
console.log($s.html());
The live code is here: http://jsfiddle.net/btvuut55/1/
This happens when there are more than two wrapper outside (two divs in the example above).
Because jQuery reaches the most outside div first, and its innerHTML, which contains span has been retained.
This answer $('#container').find('*:not(br,a,img)').contents().unwrap() fails to deal with tags with empty content.
A working solution is simple: loop from the most inner element towards outside:
var $elements = $s.find("*").not("a,img,br");
for (var i = $elements.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var e = $elements[i];
$(e).replaceWith(e.innerHTML);
}
The working copy is: http://jsfiddle.net/btvuut55/3/
with jQuery you can find all the elements you don't want - then use unwrap to strip the tags
$('#container').find('*:not(br,a,img)').contents().unwrap()

I think it would be better to extract to good tags. It is easy to match a few tags than to remove the rest of the element and all html possibilities. Try something like this, I tested it and it works fine:
// the following regex matches the good tags with attrinutes an inner content
var ptt = new RegExp("<(?:img|a|br){1}.*/?>(?:(?:.|\n)*</(?:img|a|br){1}>)?", "g");
var input = "<this string would contain the html input to clean>";
var result = "";
var match = ptt.exec(input);
while (match) {
result += match;
match = ptt.exec(input);
}
// result will contain the clean HTML with only the good tags
console.log(result);
Is there a way to hide all hashtags on the page with javascript?
For instance, I have a tag cloud underneath each post on a website I'm making. Each tag looks something like: #myhashtag
I want javascript (possibly css?) to run through the document and hide the "#" so that the tag ends up simply looking like: myhashtag
is this possible?
Let the hash tags be elements with a specific class. (Just edit the CSS selector accordingly if you have other identification marks.) Than 8 lines jQuery should do the trick:
$('.my-hash-tag').each(function(i, elem) {
var $elem = $(elem), text = $elem.text();
if(text.length > 0 && text.charAt(0) == '#') {
$elem.text(text.substring(1));
}
});
This will do the job, comments explain how it works. Currently it assumes the tags are inside anchors and inside a div with id #cloud however this is easily edited, just use a different element selector the concept remains the same.
var tagCloud = document.getElementById("cloud"); // Get tag cloud element
var tags = tagCloud.getElementsByTagName('a'); // Find all anchors within cloud (If they aren't anchors change this to containing elements or replace with a class search .etc
for (var i=0, max=tags.length; i < max; i++) { // Loop through tags
tags[i].innerHTML = tags[i].innerHTML.replace("#", ""); // Remove #'s
}
Working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3ayhA/1/
var doc = document.body;
doc.innerHTML = doc.innerHTML.replace(/(\B)#(\w+)\b/g, '$2');
Alrite, I have seen other Questions with similar titles but they don't do exactly what Im asking.
I have 2 x HTML documents, one containing my page, one containing a element with a paragraph of text in it. As-well as a separate .js file
what I want to do is extract this text, store it as a JS variable and then use jQuery to edit the contents of an element within the main page. This is the conclusion I came to but it didnt work as expected, im not sure if it is me making a syntax error or if i am using the wrong code completely:
$(document).ready(function(){
var c1=(#homec.substring(0))
// #homec is the container of the text i need
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function(c1){
$(".pcontent span p") .html(+c1)}
);
});
i know +c1 is most probably wrong, but i have been struggling to find the syntax on this one. thankyou in advance :D
var c1=(#homec.substring(0)) will throw an error because #homec is not a valid variable name, is undefined, and does not have a property function called substring. To get the html of an element with an id of homec, use the html method:
var c1 = $("#homec").html();
c1 should not be an argument of the click function because it is defined in the parent scope. +c1 is unnecessary because you do not need to coerce c1 to a number.
If you are trying to add content to the end of the paragraph, use the append method:
$(".pcontent span p").append(c1)
That means you should use this code instead:
$(document).ready(function() {
var c1 = $("#homec").html();
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function() {
$(".pcontent span p").append(c1)
});
});
P.S. Numbers are not valid ID attributes in HTML. Browsers support it, so it won't make anything go awry, but your pages won't validate.
Try this:
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function(c1){
var para = $(".pcontent span p");
para.html(para.html() + c1);
});
The JQuery text() function will allow you to get the combined text contents of each element in the set of matched elements, including their descendants. You can then use the text(value) function to set the text content of your target paragraph element. Something like this should suffice:
$(document).ready(function() {
var c1 = $("homec").text();
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function() {
$(".pcontent span p").text(c1);
});
});
See the JQuery documentation for more details on the text() function. If you need to capture the full structure of the other document, then try the html() function instead.
I'm struggling to decipher a way to remove several specific href elements which contain no IDs and are children of individual parents with no IDs.
The best I can manage is identifying the four offending, out of 8 or 9 href tags (and the number may vary), by a specific word within the URL itself. For this, I do the following:
<script language=javascript>
var xx = document.getElementById('theID').getElementsByTagName('a');
var ptn=/\=media/;
for(var i=0; i<xx.length; i++) {
if(ptn.exec(xx[i])){
alert(xx[i]);
}
}
</script>
Of course all this gives me is the four specific URLs within the href where "=media" is present. Now, somehow, I need to be able to remove either these href elements, or their parent elements (which happen to be unordered list tags). It's not until I get a level higher (table cell) that I gain access to an element ID, or anything distinguishing besides a particular word within the URL itself.
I'm open to any approach at this point - PHP may be an option (I really haven't explored this yet), but for this, javascript was my first logical choice. I can't tamper with the page that generates the links directly, only a secondary page which gets included at page load time.
Any pointers on how to solve this??
======================== final solution =====================
<script language=javascript>
var xx = document.getElementById('theID').getElementsByTagName('a');
var ptn=/\=media/;
for(var i=0; i<xx.length; i++) {
while(ptn.exec(xx[i].href)){
alert(xx[i]);
xx[i].parentNode.removeChild(xx[i]);
}
}
</script>
You don't need the ID to remove an element. You only need a reference to the element (which you seem to have).
instead of this:
alert(xx[i]);
try this:
XX[i].parentElement.removeChild(xx[i]);
You can call removeChild() on the parent element, like so:
xx[i].parentNode.removeChild(xx[i]);
As a side note, your regular expression isn't being executed on the href property. Change your if statement to:
if(ptn.exec(xx[i].href)){
var parent = xx[i].parentNode;
parent.removeChild(xx[i]);
