Does the html() method destroy event handler information ? I need to return the object HTML to another function, that’s why I need first version (i.e. no place to append – only concatenate – at build time).

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, any event handlers are lost when converting the html to a string since they aren’t part of of the DOM or HTML code.

The solution is not converting the elements to a string – usually there’s a better way to do it, usually one not involving document.write()
