Find input field inside a div Tag using jQuery

In my jQuery function I read the div tag into variable. There are many text fields inside that div tag. I want to get specific field by its name.

Tag:

  var guest_html=$('#guests_feilds1').html();

Get field:

  guest_html.getElementById('fname');

But this will return error "has no method 'getElementById' ".

I just want to get the "fname" field and change its name dynamically.How can i do that?

document.getElementById('frame').value; will give you the value. Now you can change dynamically...

If there is only one element with id 'fname', then you can directly use document.getElementById('fname'), rather calling it on an object

Try this

var guest_html= $('#guests_feilds1');

var inputT = $(this).find('input[name="name"]');

console.log(inputT)

You can try as:

var div = $('#guests_feilds1');

# finding using ID:
div.find('#input1').val()

# finding using name:
div.find("input[name='your_input_name']").val()

I think you should try like this.

$(document).ready(function(){
    var parentHtmlTag = $('#guests_feilds1');

    // Getting fname value
    var fname = parentHtmlTag.find('#fname').val();
    alert('First Name : '+fname);

    // Setting value of fname dynamically
    var newFname = parentHtmlTag.find('#fname').val('Test');
    alert('New First Name : '+newFname);          
});

guest_html is a string so doesn't have method getElementById.

What you need is:

// since you use getElementById('fname'), I assume fname is an id
$('#fname').attr('name', 'foo'); // change the name of the element with id fname

Change

var guest_html=$('#guests_feilds1').html();

To

var guest_html=$('#guests_feilds1');

You need to get the object reference, not the inner content.
