This is the value of this list, I do a convoluted solution using grep
and all I had to do was use shift.  I love how each answer improves on
the previous one.

2007-11-12 Thread Andy Matthews 

Can you provide the setup for the RSS feed? If you know that the feed will
always be links like this:

 div id=title
 a href=123.htmlbOne Two Three/a/b/div
 a href=456.htmlfour five six/a /div
 a href=789.htmlseven eight nine/a /div

And you just want the first link to be bold? Then you could do this:

$('#title a:eq(0)').wrap('b/b');

That line says wrap the first child in a bold tag.

 mystring.replace(/(^\w+)/,'strong$1/strong');
 $('#links a').html(firstword);
 });
 /script

 /head
 body

 div id=links
 p class=titlea href=a.htmlone two three four five/a/p
 p class=titlea href=b.htmlsix seven eight/a/p
 p class=titlea href=c.htmlnine ten eleven/a/p
 p class=titlea href=d.htmltwelve thirteen fourteen/a/p
 /div

 This results in changing the content to = the first link's content, like so:

 div id=links
 p class=titlea href=a.htmlstrongOne/strong two three
 four five/a/p
 p class=titlea href=b.htmlstrongOne/strong two three
 four five/a/p
 p class=titlea href=c.htmlstrongOne/strong two three
 four five/a/p
 p class=titlea href=d.htmlstrongOne/strong two three
 four five/a/p /div

 I'm looking to just make the first word of the link bold (without changing
 the content), like this:

 div id=links
 p class=titlea href=a.htmlstrongOne/strong two three
 four five/a/p
 p class=titlea href=b.htmlstrongsix/strong seven eight/
 a/p
 p class=titlea href=c.htmlstrongnine/strong ten elevan/
 a/p
 p class=titlea href=d.htmlstrongtwelve/strong thirteen
 fourteen/a/p /div

 Any ideas?

 Thanks again.

  You could also do this with a regular expression. Maybe something like
  this:

  var mystring = $('#title a:first').html(); var firstword =
  mystring.replace(/(^\w+)/,'strong$1/strong');
  $('#title a:first').html(firstword);

   Somebody else probably has a more consice method but you could try
   something like this

   var mystring = One Two Three; //replace with your string var
   stringarray = mystring.split( ); var firstword = mystring.split(
   )[0]; myarray = jQuery.grep(stringarray, function(n, i){
 return (i  0);
   });
   $(div#title a).append(strong + firstword + /strong

   I am trying to make the first word of a sentence (a title from a

   TURN THIS:

   div id=title
   a href=123.htmlOne Two Three/a /div

   INTO THIS:

   div id=title
   a href=123.htmlstrongOne/strong Two Three/a
   /div

   I sure there is a way to do with jQuery, but I can't quite figure
   it out. I have tried something like this, with no luck:

   $(#title.a).contents(0).wrap(strong/strong);

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
