 There is a table that data in it I need to display on a print screen

 So, this is how each item will look:

 span printData=Item 1 detail to displayItem 1/span
 span printData=item 2 detail to displayItem 2/span

 I need a way to grab all spans on the page that have the attributte of
 printData and grab that text inside that attribute and print it out.

 Any thoughts?

Here is an actual example.  Would anyone know why this isn't working?
What I find weird is if I do a single line (alert($(span).attr
(printElement));) it works fine.  But if I try to use the each()
function following it, nothing happens.


Any help would be great.

Thanks!

span printElement=this is for the first itemThis is the first span
1/spanbr /
span printElement=so is this oneThis is the first span 2/

Javascript:

$(span).each(function() {
$(this).attr(printElement).each(function() {

You need to read the jquery selector docs at
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/attributeHas#attribute


Below is the code that will get your data.
 $(span[printData]).text();

Expanding on my example below, with the each function.

First final all elements. Then do whatever you want with the element.

$(span[printData]).each( function( key, elementRef){
alert( $(elementRef).text() );
});
