Question

I’m using replaceWith() to replace a link with another link with a different onchange and an internal span tag, like so:

$(a.class).replaceWith("<a onclick='return ajax_spam(this);' /><span>Unflag as Spam</span></a>");

This works except for the span tag is placed after the closing tag. Same happens if I replace the span tag with just text.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You’re prematurely closing the a tag…

change:

<a onclick='return ajax_spam(this);' /><span>Unflag as Spam</span></a>

to:

<a onclick='return ajax_spam(this);' ><span>Unflag as Spam</span></a>
