Using $.get method to assign data attribute.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 20.2019

Hi, I need help.
I have a function that loops through all the links and assigns a default data-content attribute.

`getContent: function () {
$(‘ul#links a’).each(function () {
var t = $(this),
content = ‘this is a default content’;
t.attr(‘data – content’, content.tolowercase());
})
}`

I want to replace the default data-content with the content from the link but I can’t get it to work.
I’m thinking something similar to this.

`getContent: function () {
$(‘ul#links a’).each(function () {
var t = $(this),
content = $.get(t.attr(‘href’)
t.attr(‘data – content’, content.tolowercase());
})
}`

@SempervivumNov 20.2019 — I recommend reading the docu of $.get:

https://api.jquery.com/jquery.get/

The function $.get does not return the response of the server but:
all of jQuery's Ajax methods return a superset of the XMLHTTPRequest object.[/quote]
which is not what you require.

In order to access the response of the server you need to use the success callback function. It will have the response as a parameter. This should work (untested):
getContent: function () {
$('ul#links a').each(function () {
var t = $(this);
$.get(t.attr('href'),
function (response) {
t.attr('data-content', response.tolowercase());
}
);
})
}

You might also use the function data:

u can use like this ..

$.get function does not return the response of the server but all of jQuery's Ajax methods return a superset of the XMLHTTPRequest object.

``<i>
</i>
getContent: function () {
$('ul#links a').each(function () {
var t = $(this);
$.get(t.attr('href'),
function (response) {
t.attr('data-content', response.tolowercase());
}
);
})
}<i>
</i>``

Success!
