Hi Blitze,
In your first example you'd need to wrap 'this' like $(this) in order to use
the .attr() method. I'm surprised the second example does not work.
By the way do you really want all the matched elements to be given the same
id? Typically the id of each element should be unique. For a common sort of
identifier one might use a classname instead.
Is your code snippit running within a jQuery ready() function? Eg:
$(function(){ ...your code... })
I'd have thought the following would work...
$(function(){
// Put all your jQuery code in this $.ready() handler.
$('.shadow').attr("id", 'foo');
})
George
PS: I have to ask... is $('.shadow') actually returning any matches?!
