Sorry, I specified my problem incorrectly. Apologies.
I meant to ask 'how do you wrap the text in an element in an anchor,
if that's the only node within that element'.
This was my solution, although it's very long and unwieldy:
function wrapTextInAnAnchor(theElement){
$(theElement).each(function(){
var theAnchor = document.createElement("a");
theAnchor.setAttribute("href","#");
theAnchor.setAttribute("class","handle");
var theText = $(this).text();
var newText = document.createTextNode(theText);
theAnchor.appendChild(newText);
$(this).text("");
this.appendChild(theAnchor);
});
}
I was using 'this' in place of $(this), which was fine in firefox, but
IE didn't seem to know what 'this' was. That's another issue, I
suppose...
Thanks for looking into it, Karl.
