[jQuery] Re: search text, find urls and list

[Karl Swedberg]

Hi Hugh,

You might want to use the .each() method for this so you can iterate  
through the links and create new elements as you go.

Something like this should work:

var $extLinks;
$("#content a").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mysite.com/']").each(function(index) {
  if (index == 0) {
    $extLinks = $('<ol id="extLinks"></ol>');
  }
  var thisHref = this.href;
  $('<li></li>').text(thisHref).appendTo($extLinks);
});
$extLinks.appendTo("#content");

Hi All-

This is a newbie designer question.  I think jquery's great and I'm  
trying to find more uses for it.

I've got this-

$("#content a").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mysite.com/']").clone().appendTo 
("#content");

I was trying to get a line break in between each link but couldn't  
and I was hoping somebody here could give me a hand.

I'm trying to learn so I'm trying to do this step-by-step.  I've  
been reading the doc's and see that $("a") going to pick up the  
anchors.  I saw .getUrlParam and tried .getUrlParam("href") but was  
only able to get "strHref has no properties."

It's probably obvious but what I'm trying to do is go through the  
content div, collect all the external "http:..." addresses and put  
them into a <ul> or <ol> at the bottom of the page.  I just want to  
make it easy for people to copy them.

Thanks and thanks for jquery.  When you're doing sites by yourself  
it's hard to add the kind of enhancements that jquery offers.

Thanks again,

Hugh
