Adjust the appearance of an element that is being inserted using .before() by utilizing a variable

Using the jQuery function .before(), I am creating an element in this format:

d.children().first().before("<div class='test-div'><span class='test-span'>" + text + "</span></div>")

I want to style the span dynamically by adding a variable pixel count using something like this:

"...style='"left" + leftOffset'..."

However, due to the double quotes (" ") requirement of the .before() function, this approach is not working. Trying to use .style() after .before() results in an error:

Uncaught TypeError: d.children(...).first(...).before(...).style is not a function

Is there a way to solve this issue that I'm overlooking, or do I need to apply the style differently?

Some suggested this was a duplicate question, but the linked question deals with a different scenario. In my case, it's not about escaping single quotes but rather using a third pair of quotes within two pairs.

Answer №1

I'm not grasping the exact issue here.

d.children().first().before("<div class='test-div'><span class='test-span' style='" + (left + leftOffset) + "'>" + text + "</span></div>")

Everything seems like it should be functioning correctly.
