Setting text of li

Question

I have made list:

<ul>
<li id="one"></li>
</ul>

And then in jQuery I do:

 $("#one").text("one");

However it is not changing, also I have tried using .val() but it didn't help.

Why it happens and how to change the li text?

$("#one").text("one") should work. See your browser console for errors – Truett

can u show the remaining code – Nedi

are you waiting for DOM ready? How do you call this code? – Magdalen

see here jsfiddle.net/zBxTm it is working – Nedi

Works fine : jsfiddle.net/pHKvF – Devoice

@roasted, you should post that as an answer because that's likely the problem – Orson

@Orson that's ok i felt PSR was on the way to do it ;) – Magdalen

@Orson :- PSR is much faster to post that .. :) – Somnambulate

Answer 1

There may be one of the problem you have

1) You did not imported js files properly

2)You might not write the code in ready function

Write your code in ready function and import jQuery related js files.

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $("#one").text("one");
});
