I have used $("#parent").html()
to get the inner html of #parent
, but how do I get the html of the parent itself?
The use case is, I grab an input node like this:
var field = $('input');
I would like to be able to get the raw html of that node (<input type='text'>
) with something like field.html()
, but that returns empty. Is this possible?
Or you could create add an JQuery function like this:
jQuery.fn.outerHTML = function(s) {
return (s)
? this.before(s).remove()
: jQuery("<p>").append(this.eq(0).clone()).html();
}
so you could do this:
$('input').outerHTML();
or
$('input').outerHTML("new html");
