Question

I have this code

<table class="X">
  <tr>
    <td class="Y">Value</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<table class="Z">
  <tr>
    <td><input class="edit-Y" type="text"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

I need to get value from td with class “Y” to input with class “edit-Y” with jQuery.
I tried to code scripts in a different way, but anytime i got empty field or [Object Object]. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try this,

$('.edit-Y').val($('.Y').html());

If you have html like the following and you want to select each value in td and insert it the specific input boxes,

<table class="X">
  <tr>
    <td class="Y1">Value1</td>
    <td class="Y2">Value2</td>
    <td class="Y3">Value3</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<table class="Z">
  <tr>
    <td><input class="edit-Y1" type="text">
    <input class="edit-Y2" type="text">
    <input class="edit-Y3" type="text"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

jquery would do like this,

$(function(){
 $('td[class^=Y]').each(function(){ 
    var tdValue = $(this).html();
    var id = $(this).attr('class');
    $('.edit-'+id).val(tdValue);
  });
});
