Jquery change name attribute
- by kevin
Hi thereive got a jquery function that attempts to change the id, name and class of an elements
the id and class change seems to work but for some curious reason, trying to change the name of the element never works, the code is below, any clues would be helpful
$(document).ready(function () {
$("table select").live("change", function () {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
if ($(this).attr('classname') != "selected") {
var rowIndex = $(this).closest('tr').prevAll().length;
$.getJSON("/Category/GetSubCategories/" + $(this).val(), function (data) {
if (data.length > 0) {
$("#" + id).attr('classname', 'selected');
$("#" + id).attr('id', 'sel' + rowIndex);
$("#" + id).attr('name', 'sel' + rowIndex); // this never works
var position = ($('table').get(0));
var tr = position.insertRow(rowIndex + 1);
var td1 = tr.insertCell(-1);
var td2 = tr.insertCell(-1);
td1.appendChild(document.createTextNode('SubCategory'));
var sel = document.createElement("select");
sel.name = 'parent_id';
sel.id = 'parent_id';
sel.setAttribute('class', 'unselected');
td2.appendChild(sel);
$.each(data, function (GetSubCatergories, Category) {
$('#parent_id').append($("<option></option>").
attr("value", Category.category_id).
text(Category.name));
});
}
});
}
});
});
