17. Variable in HTML Pages and Templates

@ http://jsfiddle.net/defencedog/cu5VJ/

Provided that we can use this also:

$('.' + x[i].id).text(x[i].innerHTML);

why can't we use

$('.' + x[i].id).innerHTML(x[i].innerHTML);

how about a user avatar??

what id should i use?

Because 'innerHTML' is native javascript method to be used on elements. In that second line of yours it would be using it on a jQuery function not an element.

A sort of follow up mini tutorial here: http://www.avacweb.com/t129-user-avatar-variable

very nice code .
i trying code sooon
thanks.

I need another clarification, in this line
$('.'+x[i].id).html(x[i].innerHTML);

what is .id ?

Thats the clever bit of this script.
It loops through the elements holding the variables, and it gets that elements ID.
So 'x[i].id' is the ID of the element, so for instance 'USERNAME'
the '.'+x[i].id would = '.USERNAME' which when put into a jQuery selector, wil search the element with className of USERNAME, and inserts the same HTML as the variable

thank you sir...BUT I knew why it was there the question was WHAT it was I can't find any documentation on .id ??

Oh okay. Yup most attributess can be accessed just like that.

Code:


elem.id
elem.href
elem.target
elem.className
etc...


is it jquery or js syntax

Native JS.

is this working with all the variables from the templates?

Its with all the ones FM provide for you to use.
Not the ones IN templates like {GENERATED_NAV_BAR} and stuff.
