I have asp.net repeater on a page. If each item being repeated is wrapped in a label like so:
<label class="ItemName">value</label>
If this label contains the text '35' I want to display some text next to it. How can i do this using jquery???
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
if ($('.ItemName').val().indexOf("35")) {
$(this).val() = $(this).val() + "some text";
}
});
- The
this
in the .ready
function should refer to the document
.
- To get the text content, use
.text()
instead of .val()
.
- To update some value, use
$obj.val(blah);
, not $obj.val() = blah;
. (This is actually a limitation of Javascript.)
- There is a
:contains()
selector to filter elements containing some text.
- To append some text (or HTML), there is already an
.append()
method (Thanks @J-P for reminding this.)
You may want this instead:
$('.ItemName:contains(35)').append("some text");
.text()
should work:
var item = $('.ItemName');
if ( item.text().indexOf("35") > -1 ) {
item.after("some text");
}
indexOf
returns -1 if not found, or the index. Do this:
if ($('.ItemName').val().indexOf("35") >= 0) {
this you mean?
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
if ($('.ItemName').text().indexOf("35")) {
$(this).text($(this).text() + "some text");
}
});
