Question

I have the following:

<div id="info-message"></div>

I am changing the text in between the DIVs like this:

$('#info-message').html = "xxx";

However even though I can step through this in the firebug debugger I don’t see any change on the screen and nothing is added when I look with firebug.

Answer 1

Because html is a method, you need to call it like one:

$('#info-message').html("xxx");

Currently, you are setting the html property of the jQuery object to the string “xxx”.
