Hello,
Really getting in to javascript and looking around at some patterns. One I have come accross is the module pattern. Its seems like a nice way to think of chucks of functionality so I went ahead and tried to implement it with jQuery. I ran in to a snag though. Consider the following code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>index</title>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function(){
var TestClass2 = (function(){
var someDiv;
return {
thisTest: function ()
{
someDiv = document.createElement("div");
$(someDiv).append("#index");
$(someDiv).html("hello");
$(someDiv).addClass("test_class");
}
}
})();
TestClass2.thisTest();
});
</script>
</head>
<body id="index" onload="">
<div id="name">
this is content
</div>
</body>
</html>
The above code alerts the html content of the div and then adds a class. These both use jQuery methods. The problem is that the .html() method works fine however i can not add the class. No errors result and the class does not get added. What is happening here? Why is the class not getting added to the div?
