This article follows one from a few days ago, where I explained how to use the JQuery .attr() method to get html attributes. In this article I will show you how a small change to the same .attr() method will allow you to set the value of html attributes.

I'll also cover the .text() and .html methods as they allow very similar functionality.

This article is the second in a planned series demonstrating some of the key concepts of the JQuery library, and how to use it, starting at a beginner level and working up.

Here is an example of setting attributes using JQuery.

After all the 'mobile talk' at the recent Scotch on the Rocks conference my interest was piqued into looking at mobile versions of sites, and how we as developers can try and seamlessly integrate mobile platforms into our web applications.

There is a full example of this here: http://www.mccran.co.uk/examples/detect/, hitting this URL with an iPhone or Android device will serve up a different response.
