Re: [jQuery] appending text nodes

Hi

You could try this, but I'm not too sure if this is the correct way to do it

var x = $.text(item)
$(this).parents("div.sidebarToDo").find("td.sidebarText").empty().append("<input type=\"text\" size=\"10\" class=\"editableTDItem\" value=\"" + x + "\">");

Hope this helps.

 Hm, you empty it and then append to it? wouldn't that be the same as
 using .html(val)? If that is what you'd want to do, try the .text()
 command:
 $(this).parents("div.sidebarToDo").find("td.sidebarText").text(val)
 
 contents of "td.sidebarText" will be replaced with val

Thanks.  This is what I wanted to do.  One further question about the "text" command.  I'm getting a JS error when I try to implement the following:

                        $(this).parents("div.sidebarToDo").find("td.sidebarText").empty().append("<input type=\"text\" size=\"10\" class=\"editableTDItem\" value=\"" + $.text(item) + "\">");

Your thoughts?  Thanks, - Dave
