Question

I need to make text bold inside elements with class=”descTD” up to the first forward slash (/) like so:

before slash / after slash

the text is inside td:

 <td class="descTD">My text / is this</td>

I’m a javascript jQuery newbe. Any help would be much appreciated

Answer 1

you can use something like this :

    if($("#textme").text().indexOf("/")>0){
        var t=$("#textme").text();
        $("#textme").html("<b>" + t.substring(0,t.indexOf('/')-1) + "</b>" +     t.substring(t.indexOf('/')));
    }

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="textme">before slash / after slash</div>
