Question

I’d like to get the text from between the “p” tags and put it in an other element, like this:

before:

<div id="Text">
 <p>$1,200.00</p>
</div>

<div id="putText">
 <p></p>
</div>

after:

<div id="Text">
 <p>$1,200.00</p>
</div>


<div id="putText">
 <p>$1,200.00</p>
</div>

Anyone know of a Javascript that can do this?

Answer 1

The below function copies the contents of the first paragraph under an element with ID ID to a paragraph under another element with ID putID.

function copyContents(id) {
    var source = document.getElementById(id).getElementsByTagName("p")[0];
    var target = document.getElementById("put" + id).getElementsByTagName("p")[0];
    target.innerHTML = source.innerHTML;
}
copyContents("Text");
