  1. You have to use the jquery's text() function. What it does is:


    Get the combined text contents of all
    matched elements.

    The result is a
    string that contains the combined text
    contents of all matched elements. This
    method works on both HTML and XML
    documents. Cannot be used on input
    elements. For input field text use the
    val attribute.


    For example:


    Find the text in the first paragraph
    (stripping out the html), then set the
    html of the last paragraph to show it
    is just text (the bold is gone).

    var str = $("p:first").text();
    $("p:last").html(str);


    Test Paragraph.

    Test Paragraph.


    With your markup you have to do:

    $('a#a_tbnotesverbergen').text('new text');


    and it will result in

    <a id="a_tbnotesverbergen" href="#nothing">new text</a>

  2. The method you are looking for is jQuery's .text() and you can used it in the following fashion:

    $('#a_tbnotesverbergen').text('text here');

  3. $('#a_tbnotesverbergen').text('My New Link Text');


    OR

    $('#a_tbnotesverbergen').html('My New Link Text or HTML');

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
