Question

I am using an RSS Feed and want to append the Date into the description, obviously there are more than one date and description.

How can I prepend so that the dates are relative to the parent?

I have tried answers on here but can’t get them to work, beginner at JQuery.

So far I have

$('.RSSItem').each (function() { 
$('.Description').prepend($('.PubDate') ); 
});

HTML

<div class="RSSItem">
<div class="Description">
<div class="PubDate">Monday, 14 January 2013</div>
</div>

Each date needs to be moved into the Description, problem I am having is that all the dates for each RSSItem are showing for each RSSItem, I just want the one relevant to the RSSItem.

Any help gratefully received.

Answer 1

Assuming that there may be multiple RSSItems, and multiple descriptions, and assuming that the PubDates are contained right underneath the RSSItems in your source (there seems to be a closing div missing), I’d suggest that you loop through each of the RSSItems and descriptions:

$('.RSSItem').each (function() {
    var $pubDate = $(this).find(".PubDate");
    $(this).find(".Description").each(function() {
        $(this).prepend($pubDate);
    });
});
