JQuery - How to convert html with br's in it to html with p's in it?
- by Spines
On the my page I have html like this:
hi<br>bye<br>sigh<br>hello <em>tie</em><br>lie
with jquery, how can I convert it to html like this (basically using p's instead of br's):
<p>hi</p><p>bye</p><p>sigh</p><p>hello <em>tie</em></p><p>lie</p>
My first attempt at doing this was this code:
$(container).contents().filter(function() {
var val = this.nodeValue;
return this.nodeType == TEXT_NODE && $.trim(val).length > 0;
})
.wrap('<p></p>')
.end()
.filter('br')
.remove();
This worked for the most part, except that it would put hello and <em>tie</em> in separate p elements.
Does anyone know how I can do this properly?
