Question

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>

var printLinks = function () {
    var links  = $(.info).code;
    document.write(links);
};

</script>

<form>
<input type="button" value="printlinks" onclick="printLinks()"></input>
</input>
</form>

I am trying to write to a document all of the text in a certain element type that is a child of an element I query by class $(.info). I know document.write is not the best method for writing to a document. info is the class of the parent element of the <code> tags that contain the links I want to print. I am very new to jQuery so I am probably misusing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, if I understand correctly, you want to grab the content in the element with the class info. If that is correct you want to take the following approach:

<script type="text/javascript">
function printLinks() {
  var content = $('.info').html();     // Grab innerHTML of element

  $('#idOfTargetElement').html( content ); // write the content here
}
</script>
