Question

<div class="col-num-two" data-bind="CurrentJob.addr">I need this text</div>

The data is AJAX’d in and I need to change the text inside. I’m just using a 1 second timeout, but how do I select that div since there is no ‘id’ ?

Answer 1

After the timeout fires use code like this:

var currentJobAddr  = document.querySelector ("div[data-bind='CurrentJob.addr']");
if (currentJobAddr)
    currentJobAddr  = currentJobAddr.textContent;
else
    alert ('Current job addr not found.')
