如何在不使用jQuery更改html的情况下更改元素的同级文本？

Question

I'm trying to replace text only, but without touching any other tags.

<p>
    <a href="login.php">
        <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> 
        Login
    </a>
</p>

$('p').each(function() {
    $(this).text($(this).text.replace('Login', 'Anmeldung')); 
});

Bad result:

<p>
    Anmeldung       
</p>

Result as I would like it to be:

<p>
    <a href="login.php">
        <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> 
        Anmeldung
    </a>
</p>

How can I do this? This is only a sample, deeper structure of p tags can be completely different.

Answer 1

Wrap text you want to replace in a span or something.

<p>
    <a href="login.php">
        <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> 
        <span class="replace-login">Login</span>
    </a>
</p>

and js

    $('.replace-login').each(function() {
       $(this).text($(this).text.replace('Login', 'Anmeldung')); 
   });

Answer 2

Use .html() instead of .text()
This preserves your html tags

 $('p').each(function() { $(this).html($(this).html().replace('Login', 'Anmeldung')); }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <p> <a href="login.php"> <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> Login </a> </p> 

Fiddle using your example.

Answer 3

If you want to change all text sibling of i , select i tag in p and use Node.nextSibling property to selecting sibling text after element and change it.

 $("p > a > i")[0].nextSibling.nodeValue = "Anmeldung"; 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <p> <a href="login.php"> <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> Login </a> </p> 

But if you want to replace part of text, use this code

 $("p > a").html(function(i, html){ return html.replace("Login", "Anmeldung"); }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <p> <a href="login.php"> <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> Login </a> </p>

    <i class="fa fa-sign-in"></i> 
    Login
  </a>

$('p').each(function() {
  $(this).find("a").text($(this).find("a").text.replace('Login', 'Anmeldung')); 
});
