How to get actual content of an object after being replaceWith('something') in jquery?

Your updated method is the correct one, just needs a tweak like this: $('. Selector'). Click(function(){ var obj = $(this), repl = $('whats up man?!

'); obj. ReplaceWith(repl); alert(repl. Find('span').

Attr('class')); //this will print 'undefined' }) You can test it out here The important change is the repl.find() to look in the new element instead of the old one.

1 thx nick, you nailed it. – mdennisa Aug 27 '10 at 3:06.

You know what you replaced it with.... $(document). Ready(function(){ $('. Selector').

Click(function(){ var obj = $(this); var replacement = $('whats up man?!'); obj. ReplaceWith(replacement); alert(replacement.html()); }); }).

Thx andrew, my intention is to have access to manipulate everything inside the actual 'obj', $('. Size'). Click(function(){ var obj = $(this), repl = $('whats up man?!

'); obj. ReplaceWith(repl); alert(obj. Find('span').

Attr('class')); // this will print 'undefined' // I want to get the class name from the actual 'obj' }); – mdennisa Aug 26 '10 at 9:28 but you know you just assigned size to it, so why aren't just just alerting size? Just do: replacement. Find('span').

Attr('class') if you really must – Andrew Bullock Aug 26 '10 at 9:35 yes andrew, your code has solved my question in the first place. But I think I missunderstood. Here is the final result jsfiddle.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
