I need to replace some text in an element that is created dynamically.
I tried:
$(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
console.log('I started');
$(".classname:contains('foo')").html('bar');
console.log('I finished');
})
The function starts and finishes just when I want it to, but the selection and replacement never happens.
If I just run the replacement in the console, after the element exists, it works fine:
> $(".classname:contains('foo')").html('bar')
> [<label class="classname" for="element">bar</label>]
As does just running the selection and replace constantly with:
var interval = setInterval(function() {$(".classname:contains('foo')").html('bar')})
How can I get my jQuery to run only when I need it to?
