my document has many span tags like the following:
<span class='myClass'>aaa</span>
I would like to turn each of them into the following:
<a href="http://www.example.com/aaa" onclick="myfunc();"><span class='myClass'>aaa</span></a>
Is there a way to do this? could be plain js or jquery (3.1.1)
Thank you in advance
Use this:
const els=document.querySelectorAll("span.myClass");
els.forEach((el)=>{
const t=el.textContent;
const aEl=document.createElement("a");
aEl.href=`http://example.com/${t}`;
aEl.appendChild(el.cloneNode(true))
el.parentElement.insertBefore(aEl,el);
el.remove()
})
With jQuery, you can iterate all .myClass elements using .each(), then wrap them using .wrap()
$(".myClass").each( function() {
$(this).wrap('<a href="http://www.example.com/' + $(this).text() + '" onclick="myfunc();" />');
});
console.log($(".myClass").parent())<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span class='myClass'>aaa</span>
<span class='myClass'>bbb</span>
<span class='myClass'>ccc</span>
<span class='myClass'>ddd</span>
