jqueryHow do I use jQuery to replace text?



Using jQuery, you can replace text in an HTML element. To do this, you can use the .html() method. This method takes a string parameter which is the text you want to replace the existing text with.

For example, if you have an HTML element with the ID my-element and it contains the text Hello World, you can use the following code to replace it with Goodbye World:

$('#my-element').html('Goodbye World');

This code will replace the existing text with Goodbye World.

The code can be broken down as follows:

  • $('#my-element'): This selects the element with the ID my-element.
  • .html('Goodbye World'): This sets the HTML content of the element to Goodbye World.
