How to modify an attribute contained within a string
Hi, I'm receiving html into a variable from an external source and I'm trying to modify the id of one of the inputs within the html but when I change it, the original html isn't getting updated. I've tried a few different ways but so far none have been successful.
an example of what I'm trying to do is :
var sTemp = "<div><input type='hidden' name='test' id='test' /></div>";
$("#test", sTemp).attr("id","newid");
after changing the attribute, sTemp still contains the original code
Any help would be appreciated
