In Javascript, I have a variable that is set to a block of text from a WYSIWYG editor.
I want to use JQUERY’s EACH() to find span’s with the class XXXX.
$( "span.foods" ).each( function() {});
But I want it to search in the variable=lookhere I have since I don’t have access the the text in the WYSIWYG editor directly (CKEDITOR).
How can this be done?
You want $.each(), which can go over anything, not just a jQuery object. Documentation: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.each/Okay, now I understand. What you seem to want will require becoming pretty cozy with javascript string methods and properties, especially split(), and manipulating arrays.
