Question

How do I convert this javascript selected to jQuery? I need to select a button class rather than an ID, and I understand the easiest way to do this is jQuery.

var playButton1 = document.getElementById("playButton1");

playButton1.onclick = function() {
    var ta = document.getElementById("playButton1");

    document['player'].receiveText1(ta.value);

    ta.value = ""
};

Try the following. You didn’t specify the new class name so I assumed it was “playButton”.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.playButton').click(function() {
    document['player'].receiveText1(this.value);
    this.value = "";
  });
});
