I have an HTML div that contains 3 rooms. What I need is to change the name of any room when I want. "EDIT ROOM NAME" button makes 'contenteditable="false"'. After I type the desired name, I press the "VALIDATE NAME" button but as you can see, the alert message displays the previous name, not the new one. Only when I click on the room name again the "nameTag" variable refreshes and takes the new value. My question is how do I get the value after I finished typing the desired name?
Below is the demo:
$("#editButton").click(function (){
var idTag;
var nameTag;
alert("DoubleClick the room you want to rename")
$(".roomClass").click(function (){
$(this).attr('contenteditable', 'true');
idTag = $(this).attr("data-room-id");
nameTag = $(this).text();
})
$("#confirmButton").click(function () {
PostData(idTag, nameTag);
})
})
function PostData(idTag, nameTag) {
alert(nameTag + ' with id: ' + idTag + ' was renamed!');
}<html>

Reset to default 6you can get value simply by using .text() jquery function
like :
var room8Value = $("[data-room-id=8]").text();
you can check this jsfiddle example
$("#editButton").click(function (){
var idTag;
var nameTag;
alert("DoubleClick the room you want to rename")
$(".roomClass").click(function (){
$(this).attr('contenteditable', 'true');
idTag = $(this).attr("data-room-id");
nameTag = $(this).text();
})
$("#confirmButton").click(function () {
PostData(idTag, nameTag);
})
});
function PostData(idTag, nameTag) {
alert(nameTag + ' with id: ' + idTag + ' was renamed! to :' + $("[data-room-id="+idTag+"]").text());

</html>Use var idTag; and var nameTag; as public variable, you had applied this variable inside $("#editButton").click() apply them outside
Please check below:
var idTag;
var nameTag;
$("#editButton").click(function (){
alert("DoubleClick the room you want to rename")
$(".roomClass").click(function (){
$(this).attr('contenteditable', 'true');
idTag = $(this).attr("data-room-id");
nameTag = $(this).text();
})
$("#confirmButton").click(function () {
PostData(idTag, nameTag);
})
})
function PostData(idTag, nameTag) {
alert(nameTag + ' with id: ' + idTag + ' was renamed!');
