size attribut on a jQuery input object

in Using jQuery • 10 years ago

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to use javascript as an object language and so I'm doing something like this :

_inputNameExp = jQuery('<input/>', {'type': 'text', 'size': '25});
$('body').append(_inputNameExp);

This partially works : input is created and inserted in the body but there is no "size" attribute...

A workaround is :

_inputNameExp.attr('size', '25');

And now this is working but I don't like it...

Am I doing something wrong during the input creation ?

Is this a jQuery bug ?

Thanks !

Also I apologize for my english and hope someone will understand my question and try to help me...

Your original declaration is missing a quotation mark after the integer. Try this -

_inputNameExp = jQuery('<input/>', {'type': 'text', 'size': '25'});

Oh sorry I made a mistake will copying my code...

The quote is no more missing but it does'nt solve my problem...

Also tryied without quotes :

_inputNameExp = jQuery('<input/>', {'type': 'text', 'size': 25});

Same problem...

In reading the api for that functionality (http://api.jquery.com/jQuery/ ) it seems like there is still a lot of browser dependency when creating elements, I would do something like this:

_inputNameExp = jQuery('<input size="10" type="text" />');

This doesn't work in Firefox, nor in Chrome! This means that using a props object as a second argument is out of the question. It just does not work! This is a major bug.
