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

[Hugh Hayes]

Hi Karl-

Thanks.  I really appreciate it.  I've got (I think) syntax errors.  The 
firefox console is telling me "missing } after function body \n" - it seems to 
be the last line of the code and no matter what combination of characters I use 
there.  Here's what I've got:

<script src="http://www.helderberg-bmdc.org/scripts/jquery.js"; 
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
$(document).ready(function() {
var $extLinks;
$("#content a").not("[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]'helderberg-bmdc.org/']").each(function(index) {
  if (index == 0) {
    $extLinks = $('<ol id="extLinks"></ol>');
  } 
  var thisHref = this.href;
  $('<li></li>').text(thisHref).appendTo($extLinks);
$extLinks.appendTo("#content");
)};
/* ]]> */
</script>

I'm serving the files up as xhtml 1.1 with mime-type application/xhtml+xml for 
the browsers that understand it and text/html (html 4.01) for the browsers that 
don't.  The page validates and there's no css errors.

Thanks in advance for anyone's hints, tips or fixes.

Take care.

Hugh

  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
