  • 0

Some words pass from search, I want to wrap them with a div then click one link, remove the outer wrap, but my code not worked for wrap and unwrap. What is wrong?

<?php $_GET['search']='this is a text'; ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../jquery.js" ></script> 
<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var words = '<?php echo $_GET['search']; ?>';
        $(words).wrap('<div id="words" />');
        $('body').append(words);
        $('#click').click(function(){
            $(words).unwrap('<div id="words" />');
        });
    });
</script>
<body>
    <a id="click">remove me</a>
</body>

    words can’t be a string wrap only works on a jquery object, or a dom element.

    try something like this:

    <script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    var words = 'this is your search string';
    words = '<div id="words">'+words+'</div>'; // wrap it, basically creating the string
    $('body').append(words);
    $('#click').click(function(){
        $('#words').replaceWith($('#words').get(0).childNodes); // get the words outsde of it again, unwrap only works on the inner element.
    });
});
</script>
<body>
    <a id="click">remove me</a>
</body>
