King Karl- Success!
It ended up being: <script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ $(document).ready(function() { var $extLinks; $("#content a").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mysite.com/']").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mailto']").each(function(index) { if (index == 0) { $extLinks = $('<ol id="extLinks"></ol>'); } var thisHref = this.href; $('<li></li>').text(thisHref).appendTo($extLinks); $extLinks.appendTo("#content"); }); /* ]]> */ }); </script> It was the order of the last three or four lines that needed to be changed. I got rid of the mailto's, too. I know it's hard to support us cut-and-paste guys, there isn't a heck of a lot that we can do for the group / jquery. Since it does say designers on the homepage, I can offer an opinion that might help. The plug-ins are great, but I'm really a lot more likely to be looking at the Cookbook on the FAQ page. Doing things like the script you wrote for me, alternate table row colors, make a footer that sticks to the bottom of the viewport no matter how much content is on the page, without making syntax errors or extensive debugging, that's what I'd find really useful. My buddies and I have looked at the plug-ins a lot, thought they were really cool but we're not using them. We're already both using the script we've been working on here. Hope that helps. Thanks again for your help with this script and thanks to all the people that take care of jquery. Take care.

I really appreciate it. I've got (I think) syntax errors. The firefox console is telling me "missing } after function body \n" - it seems to be the last line of the code and no matter what combination of characters I use there. Here's what I've got: <script src="http://www.helderberg-bmdc.org/scripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ $(document).ready(function() { var $extLinks; $("#content a").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'helderberg-bmdc.org/']").each(function(index) { if (index == 0) { $extLinks = $('<ol id="extLinks"></ol>'); } var thisHref = this.href; $('<li></li>').text(thisHref).appendTo($extLinks); $extLinks.appendTo("#content"); )}; /* ]]> */ </script> I'm serving the files up as xhtml 1.1 with mime-type application/xhtml+xml for the browsers that understand it and text/html (html 4.01) for the browsers that don't. The page validates and there's no css errors. Thanks in advance for anyone's hints, tips or fixes. Take care.

Something like this should work: var $extLinks; $("#content a").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mysite.com/']").each(function(index) { if (index == 0) { $extLinks = $('<ol id="extLinks"></ol>'); } var thisHref = this.href; $('<li></li>').text(thisHref).appendTo($extLinks); }); $extLinks.appendTo("#content"); --Karl _________________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Jul 16, 2007, at 3:39 PM, Hugh Hayes wrote: Hi All- This is a newbie designer question. I think jquery's great and I'm trying to find more uses for it. I've got this- $("#content a").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mysite.com/']").clone().appendTo("#content"); I was trying to get a line break in between each link but couldn't and I was hoping somebody here could give me a hand. I'm trying to learn so I'm trying to do this step-by-step. I've been reading the doc's and see that $("a") going to pick up the anchors. I saw .getUrlParam and tried .getUrlParam("href") but was only able to get "strHref has no properties." It's probably obvious but what I'm trying to do is go through the content div, collect all the external "http:..." addresses and put them into a <ul> or <ol> at the bottom of the page. I just want to make it easy for people to copy them. Thanks and thanks for jquery. When you're doing sites by yourself it's hard to add the kind of enhancements that jquery offers. Thanks again, Hugh
