Using variables instead of hard coding text...

[enpiccoli]

Would someone please help. I kept my code very simple as I am new at HTML. The below code works and all I want to do is replace the hard coded value "Heading" in "<h1>Heading</h1" by using the value in the text variable "var HeadingText" which is "Auto Manufacturing Company". Also, do the same, replace the hard coded value "Description" in "<p>Description"</p>" by using the value in the text variable "var CollapsibleText" which is "Ford". In other words, instead of using hard coded values, use text associated with a variable as follows "<h1>use value associated with var HeadingText </h1>" giving "<h1>Auto Manufacturing Company</h1>. Thank you.

myapp.Main.CurrentEvents_selectedItem_postRender = function (element, contentItem) {var HeadingText = "Auto Manufacturing Company"var CollapsibleText = "Ford"var helpText = $("<div data-role='collapsible' data-theme='a' data-content-theme='a'>" + "<h1>Heading</h1>" +"<p>Description</p>" +" </div>");helpText.prependTo($(element));};

Is this supposed to make sense? Maybe...

myapp.Main.CurrentEvents_selectedItem_postRender = function (element, HeadingText, CollapsibleText ) {var helpText = "<div data-role='collapsible' data-theme='a' data-content-theme='a'><h1>"+HeadingText+"</h1><p>"+CollapsibleText+"</p></div>";element.innerHTML = helpText;};

What language are you used to coding in? It sure is not HTML

it's Javascript, using some sort of framework.
