Keyup attribute 'name' change not working
- by dclowd9901
Hey guys, I've got what I imagine is a simple question, but for some reason, I can't get it working right.
Expected Behavior:
I type characters into a field, and, through a function, those characters are translated into the value of the name HTML attribute.
Actual Behavior:
Reflected in Firebug, the value doesn't change or update.
The Code:
$('input').live('keyup', function() {
var name_value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
$(this).attr('name', name_value);
});
Just a side note: I'm using .live() because the element can be cloned, and those clones need to also be able to take on the properties of this .keyup event.
Any ideas?
