Question

I need to change text to change. How can do it with jQuery?

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="" method="post">
    <p>
        <label for="user_login">text to change<br />
        <input type="text" name="log" value="" /></label>
    </p>
</form>

Answer 1

Give this a try then:

var newText = 'some text';
$('label[for="user_login"]').contents().filter(function() { return this.nodeType == 3; }).first().replaceWith(newText);​

Fiddle

I give no warranties on the performance of this though 🙂 but otherwise it should do.
