Title
Body
I am trying to manipulate the HTML stored within a jQuery variable. I want to do this manipulation before I write the variable to the document. So, I have a variable defined as: var sighting = "<div><span class="feed_name"></span></div>"; And I want to put "hello world" in the span element. This is the part that I can't get to work: $(sighting).("span.feed_name").html(name); Then I write the 'sighting' variable to the page: $(#sightings).append(sighting); Which puts the HTML in the sighting variable into the <div id="sightings"></div> element on the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Mark
