How can I set html of custom tag with jquery or javascript

Question

In my JSP file there is a custom tag <table:page page="${page}"></table:page> .

I want to update value of ${page} by ajax.

Now ajax return a successful value.

The returned value seems like <div><ul><li></li></ul><div>,

But I have an idea that how can I get this custom tag and set html to it ?

In tag file it is like this <%@ attribute name="page" type="com.common.Page" required="true"%>

I tried many ways, but it doesn`t work.

Any suggestion is welcome.

But I tried alert(document.getElementsByTagName('table:page').html()); It is undefined — Wendy, Jun 29 '16 at 08:52

document.getElementsByTagName('table:page') will retrieve the HtmlCollection you desire.

Sorry for the late answer - it returns a HtmlCollection and you can iterate through it. (see here how: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22754315/foreach-loop-for-htmlcollection-elements) – Alexandru Cojan Jul 14 '16 at 14:45
