var obj = $("a"); for(var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) { obj.eq(i).wrap("<span></span>"); // wrap the hyperlink in a span tag obj.parent().eq(i).prepend("This is text before the hyperlink"); obj.parent().eq(i).append('This is text after the hyperlink'); }
use the above common method and you can furthur change this script to look for hyperlinks with a specific class by saying : var obj = $("a.myclass"); or var obj = $("a#myid"); may be even var obj = $("h2 a"); On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 7:46 PM, vmrao <maheshpav...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Also, I would like to apply a specific CSS style to the text being > added. > > Here is my CSS. > .fileExtension { > padding-left:0pt; > font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; > font-size: 7pt; > font-weight: normal; > color: #354963; > } > > On May 14, 1:18 pm, vmrao <maheshpav...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks.
