Question

I am using the jquery slider and using append() to update the value, but it will keep adding it unless I empty it on the start event. Is there a way where I can just updated the value instead of printing it out every time the action takes place. i tried replaceWith but no luck there.

start: function(event, ui){     $('#current_value').empty();     }, slide: function(event, ui){     $('#current_value').fadeIn().append('Value is '+ui.value); }, 

Answer 1

You probably want something like

slide: function(event, ui){     $('#current_value').text('Value is '+ui.value);     $('#current_value').fadeIn(); }
