Question

I have several text boxes with class name ‘check’. It already has ’12/12/2001 00:00:00′ string. I want to remove the ’00:00:00′ part from every text boxes. How do I do this from jquery?

Answer 1

Just get the value and truncate it at the first space.

$("input.check").each(function() {
    var index = this.value.indexOf(" ");
    if (index >= 0) {
        this.value = this.value.substring(0, index);
    }
});

You can do it with a shorter bit of code using split, but it works harder:

$("input.check").each(function() {
    this.value = this.value.split(' ')[0];
});
