jQ shouldn't have any problems finding the added elements. Some things to
look at:
- First, use $("#sQuestion").val('abc') to change form input values,
not html.
- Have you tried looking at the DOM with FireBug to make sure the
elements are being inserted correctly?
- In terms of what you're actually trying to do, I've used something
like this when I want to reset only part of a form:
jQuery.fn.resetInput() {
return this.each(function() { this.value=this.defaultValue; });
};

Sorry, a typo on my part - I am using #nLinkForm in the code

At 07:58 p.m. 18/12/2006, you wrote:
$("nLinkForm") is looking for nLinkForm tags. You need to use css syntax:
$("#nLinkForm") for id, $(".nLinkForm") for class.

Hello folks,
Please excuse this longish post but I'm seriously confused.
I'm building a quiz editor. I have form (#nLinkForm) which is loaded with
the page and a submit function bound to it.
Once the user has selected the type of quiz, an appropriate set of input
elements (text, textarea, checkbox) is loaded into a div (#aqs) within
"nLinkForm" via an AJAX call. The questions/answers entered into these
elements are correctly send to the server when the form is submitted.
My problem occurs next - I want to reset the form to clear all the
contents of the input elements in readiness for another set of
question/answers to be entered.
I have an image tag set up with the following code...
$("img.togAQs").click(function(){$("nLinkForm").reset();$("#aqs").slideDown("slow");});
which I had hoped would clear the contents of the text/textarea etc
elements of the form - it doesn't and hence this call for help. What am I
doing wrong? A workaround is to load a blank "template" via another ajax
call, but I was hoping to "clear the decks" client-side.
I know the function as a whole is being fired as evidenced by the contents
of the "aqs" div becoming visible/sliding down.
After reading the archives, I also tried $("nLinkForm")[0].reset(); to no
benefit. Now, after trying $("#sQuestion").html('abc'); as a check to
change the contents of one of the text input elements, I'm now thinking that
jquery cannot "see" the form elements within #aqs.
Is this the correct interpretation of what's happening/not happening? If
so, how do I ensure that jquery does recognise elements introduced into a
page via an AJAX call?
Thanks,
Bruce
