Question

my html

<div id="sample-reminder">
    <div id="reminder_0000">
        <input type="text" name="val_0000" value="1">
    </div>
</div>

my code

rigaHtml = $('#sample-reminder').clone(); // i have to work on a clone of dom
rigaHtml.find('input[name^=val_]').val(99);
rigaHtml.html().replace(/0000/g, 987654321); 

last command not replace my placeholder ‘0000’.
if i move replace() before find(), i cant’ use find 🙁

Answer 1

You don’t need to use .clone() in this case:

var rigaHtml = $('#sample-reminder').html();
$(rigaHtml.replace(/0000/g, 987654321))
  .find('input[name^=val_]')
  .val(99)
  .appendTo('#container')

Where '#container' is the node you wish to add the modified HTML to.
