Question

I wish to change the text of the hyperlink dynamically, and trigger the change with Javascript.

I have html:

<a id="HyperlinkID" href="#" >Original text</a>

Javascript:

$("a#HyperlinkID").text() = "Text changed";

That does not seem to work.

What is the right way to change the text?

Answer 1

Try:

$("a#HyperlinkID").html("Text changed");
