Question

New to jquery. I already got this running in javascript but am switching to jquery so I can use .each. Is there some special rule preventing me from using JavaScripts .replace inside jQuerys .each?

    var jse_sanitized_title = "";
    var jse_article_title = "";

    var jse_article_titles = $('.jse_article_title');

    $.each(jse_article_titles, function(i) {

    jse_article_title = jse_article_titles[i].innerHTML;

            //error for this says jse_article_titles[i].replace is not a function
    jse_sanitized_title = jse_article_titles[i].replace(/ /g,"_");

})

EDIT: The purpose of the replace is to replace spaces with underscores.

Answer 1

Presumably you mean:

    $.each(jse_article_titles, function(i) {

    jse_article_title = jse_article_titles[i].innerHTML;

            //error for this says jse_article_titles[i].replace is not a function
    jse_sanitized_title = jse_article_title .replace(/ /g,"_");
    jse_article_titles[i].innerHTML = jse_sanitized_title;

})

If you have not already declared jse_article_title, put a var here, like:

var jse_article_title = jse_article_titles[i].innerHTML;

Note that you have to reassign it at the end. Finally, there are no special rules like this. jQuery is just a library.
