I have a div that's copied from another location, and I need to change one word in it. This is the html:
<div class="dealer-addy">
8726 N. Royal Ln<br>
Irving, TX 75063<br>
email@aol.com
</div>
I need to change the email address, so I'm trying to get the text inside the div and split the string into words, then change the email address. However, I'm having trouble working with the inner text.
This is my script:
var address = $dealerInfo.find(".dealer-addy");
var text = $(address).text();
text = text.replace(/\r?\n|\r/, " ");
var words = $(text).split(" ");
It was breaking on split(), so I added the replace() line, and now it breaks on the replace() line. I assume it's breaking because of the line breaks in 'text', but I'm not sure what to do.
var text = $(".dealer-addy").text();
function extractEmails ( text ){
return text.match(/([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)/gi) ;
}
var email = extractEmails(text);
var value = $(".dealer-addy").text();
value = value.replace(email, "new@email.com");
$(".dealer-addy").text(value);

<div class="dealer-addy">
8726 N. Royal Ln<br>
Irving, TX 75063<br>
email@aol.com
</div>
Here is the demo: http://jsfiddle.net/VS7Qe/166/
You can get the lastChild
of the div
, and use replaceChild
to insert the new text you want:
document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function() {
var div = document.querySelector('.dealer-addy');
var newEmail = 'vitor@stackoverflow.com';
div.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(newEmail), div.lastChild);
});
<div class="dealer-addy">
8726 N. Royal Ln<br>
Irving, TX 75063<br>
email@aol.com
</div>
<button>Replace email</button>
You can do something like this:
Javascript:
var orignalstring = document.getElementById("dealer-addy").innerHTML;
var newstring = orignalstring.replace("email@aol.com","replaced");
document.getElementById("dealer-addy").innerHTML = newstring;
Html:
<div id="dealer-addy">
8726 N. Royal Ln<br>
Irving, TX 75063<br>
email@aol.com
</div>
But if you don't know what the email address you are trying to replace is, you might be better off doing this:
Html:
<div class="dealer-addy">
8726 N. Royal Ln<br>
Irving, TX 75063<br>
<span id="email">email@aol.com</span>
</div>
Javascript:
document.getElementById("email").innerHtml = "new email";
This should do what you want (email@aol.com will be replaced with newemail@gmail.com). Working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bay44km4/3/
HTML:
<div class="dealer-addy">
8726 N. Royal Ln<br>
Irving, TX 75063<br>
email@aol.com
</div>
Javascript:
var dealerAddressHtml = $(".dealer-addy").html();
var dealerAddressArr = dealerAddressHtml.split("\n");
if (dealerAddressArr.length >=3){
var emailAddress = dealerAddressArr[3];
dealerAddressHtml = dealerAddressHtml.replace(emailAddress, "newemail@gmail.com");
$(".dealer-addy").html(dealerAddressHtml);
}
