Convert span to input and vice versa, using javascript.

[Clique aqui para ler em português]

let’s convert a span to an input using javascript and an input to a span.

Code

First we will create the interface, we will do something simple, using only HTML.

HTML code

We have a div with id element to assist in the search with javascript, we have a span that calls a function when clicking.

JS code

We have two functions:

  • spanSwitch = Here the span is replaced by the input, using the span text as the input value;
  • spanReset = Here the input is replaced by the span, using the input value as the span text;

ready as simple as that.

Demo

See the complete project working below.
