jQuery Forum

I have a variable called html thats created on document load with
jquery and XML, I want to search that variable for a string, and
replace it with another.
ie
html = '<td>UP</td><td>DOWN</td><td>UP</td><td>UP</td><td>DOWN</
td><td>UP</td>'
I then basically want to do:
html.find("<td>UP</td>").replaceWith("<td><img...></td>")
It does not need to be recursive, but can be.
If recursive, will get used before the var is dumped to a div. If not
will get used in the loop and change the html var as created and wont
matter. Either way, as long as it works.
I tried several things, but kept getting this error:
uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: >
Please help!
