Question

How to loop through my results and format each number string. The first result is formated correctly, but not the second result or any result after the first.

 $('#phoneResults').each(function(){              
     //Only the first result is being altered! Ugh.
     var string = $(this).html();
     $(this).html(string.substring(0,3) + '.' + string.substring(3,6) + '.' + string.substring(6,10))     
 });

Answer 1

Likely because the # refers to an element ID, which by convention is unique. jQuery will treat this as a single item, so iteration will yield only a single result.

Maybe try something like:

$('.phoneResults').each(function() { 
    // your code here 
});
