Question

I am using this method to find and replace a piece of text and not sure why it is not working? When I use console.log, I can see the correct content I want to replace but the end result is not working:

(function($) {
  $(document).ready( function() {
        var theContent = $(".transaction-results p").last();
        console.log(theContent.html());
        theContent.html().replace(/Total:/, 'Total without shipping:');
    });
})(jQuery);

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You have extra : in string to search and also assign it back to html of theContent

Live Demo

  $(document).ready( function() {
        var theContent = $(".transaction-results p").last();
        console.log(theContent.html());
        theContent.html(theContent.html().replace(/Total/, 'Total without shipping:'));
  });
