text()

text() : String

Returns the text content of an HTML element or of the first element in a result set (see results).

Example

This script loads a snippet into a variable and retrieves an element from the snippet using query() and text().

Copy

var mysnippet = loadhtml('snippets/text-root-wrapped.html'); 
var subject = query("#subject", mysnippet).text(); 
results.append("<p style='font-weight: bold;'>" + subject + "</p>");

text(value)

Replaces the text content of one HTML element or of each element in a result set with the supplied value.

Example

This script loads a snippet, then looks for placeholders using find(), and replaces them using text(value).

Copy

var mysnippet = loadhtml('snippets/snippet.html'); 
mysnippet.find('@var1@').text('OL Connect 1'); 
mysnippet.find('@var2@').html('<i>OL Connect 2</i>').css('text-decoration','underline'); 
results.replaceWith(mysnippet);
