navigation li to create <span></span> around text via jquery
- by MikesEpitaphSays
I've been trying all day and reading a few things, but for some reason my code isn't working right
What i'm trying to achieve is this: When i create an un ordered list in my index page - I want my jquery to automatically add around the text in the anchor. So i want it to look like this
<li><a href="index.htm"><span>Home</span></a></li>
while I am only adding:
<li><a href="index.htm">Home</a></li>
I want to do this because i have a LOT of list items and instead of writing when i'm adding pages it makes the most sense to save some time in the long run and create a loop that will handle that anytime i add one.
This is What i have so far (sorry if it looks ugly):
$('document').ready(function () {
var begSpan = "<span>";
var endSpan = "</span>";
$('p').each(function () {
$(this) prepend(begSpan);
}).append(endSpan);
});
How can i get that to auto create span tags for me
