Question

i have a problem, i’m working with jquery and some ajax requests.

i’m getting a string like: 5 12 6 8

now i want to split this string into 5,12,6,8 and then add the numbers to some elements like:

$("#l1").html("5");
$("#l2").html("12");
$("#l3").html("6");
$("#l4").html("8");

the problem is, that there are not always 4 numbers, sometimes 8, other times just one. when there is just one it would be:

$("#l1").html("x");

x should be the number which i get.

how to resolve this with jquery?

Answer 1

Assuming that str is a string that looks like “5 12 6 8”:

$.each(str.split(' '), function(i, val) {
    $('#l'+(i+1)).html(val);
});
