Re: [jQuery] jQuery Version
There's no way for us to determine whether updating the jQuery library will affect your site. Too many variables. - Review the Release notes for the version to see if there are any known issues. - Review any plugins that you have to determine if they will work. - Update the library and test your site. Good luck! Joe On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 10:04 AM, Cyberdog daviddmiddle...@btinternet.comwrote: Hi, I have a website which has jQuery JavaScript Library v1.3.2 installed.

Re: [jQuery] Re: button value change
David,
You are correct, that wont work for the input element. Sorry about that. I
guess I got focused on the first part of your email and the a element.
I'm wondering if you thought about why the code I provided didn't work? You
might want to review the jQuery documentation and the tutorials:
- http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page
- http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials
Here's why, because the text attribute doesn't exist for your input tag, it
doesn't have a text attribute (ok as enhanced by jQuery).
When the input element is created like this, then you'd have to change the
value attribute. This would then change the text that is displayed to the
user. (Note this also changes the value you'd receive on the server end.)
If you had used the button element, then changing the text attribute would
have worked.
Here is some more modified code for you to play.
html
head
titleTest Page/title
script src='jquery.js' type='text/javascript'/script
script type=text/javascript
$(function() {
$('#frm1').submit( function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
});
$('#btn1').toggle(
function(event) {
$(this).attr('value','Hide Details');
},
function(event) {
$(this).attr('value','More Details');
}
);
$('#btn2').toggle(
function(event) {
$(this).text('Hide Details');
},
function(event) {
$(this).text('More Details');
}

No I dont want anything to happen when you click on the link
I want to change it beforehand.
Basically ON LOAD of the html I need certain text replaced by my text.
There is certain text that I can not control through HTML or in the
backend, which needs to be replaced by my text. Not just this link,
but I can choose the incorrect text, by either the CSS Class or ID.
For Example: $('.cartSummaryLink').val was my attempt to get the
value of the incorrect text (being View Cart) and the rest of my
code was my attempt to replace part of that text (Cart) with my text.

You still didn't get it right :-)
$(div[class^=Hide-BAT]).hide();
To original poster:
if you want fast, then you can't beat CSS with jQuery's hide method
have like:
div class=Hide BAT1
div class=Hide BAT1
.
div class=Hide BAT55
and now the CSS class Hide is defined like so:
.Hide { display: none; }
But, I'd suggest really reading into some replies above, you shouldn't
be using class names this way. if your div needs to be uniquely
identified, then ID is the way to go, and the class name BAT would
be used to grab all those uniquely identified div's
so building on that (note: id's are not supposed to start with
numbers, hence the B):
div id=B1 class=Hide
div id=B2 class=Hide
.
div id=B55 class=Hide
so now on page load, it'll see:
.Hide { display: none; }
and not show all 55 div's
want to do something to item 35?
function Action(id) {
$(#B + id).doSomething
}
Action(35)
want to do something to all 55 items?
$(.Hide).show()
doesn't that seem easier plus more importantly make more sense?
something like the suggested selector against your current structure
$(div[class^=hide-BAT]).hide();
while it *would work*, you need to understand why it is slow...
- first jQuery walks across the whole entire DOM tree grabbing every
single div, and that's whether it's one you are after or not
- then id needs to get every single class name, and do a (relatively
to other methods anyways) slow end with operator
Yuck and just think if you had 200 of those div's, or 400 !
