Question

How do i add a text to all 5 spans that share the same id.

the html goes:

<div class="body">
<form>
<span id = "test" ></span>
<span id = "test" ></span>
<span id = "test" ></span>
<span id = "test" ></span>
<span id = "test" ></span>
</form>
</div>

The js:

function check_aff_payment(elem){

        $(elem).find('#test').each(function(){
            $("#test").text("*");
        });

}

Answer 1

ID’s on a HTML page are required to be unique.

Try using class instead

<div class="body">
   <form>
      <span class="test"></span>
      <span class="test"></span>
      <span class="test"></span>
      <span class="test"></span>
      <span class="test"></span>
   </form>
</div>

function check_aff_payment(elem){
    $(elem).find('.test').each(function(){
       $(this).text("*");
    });
}
