javascript - jQuery: Change element type from hidden to input

Question

I've got an input which it's type is set to hidden, I need to change it's type to text. Can't seem to figure this out or if it's possible with jQuery

Answer 1

With jQuery 1.4 you can change the type of an input while it's detached.

marker = $('<span />').insertBefore('#myInput');
$('#myInput').detach().attr('type', 'text').insertAfter(marker);
marker.remove();
