I have some code that has a three column table in it. When the user
updates some number values in one of the two columns, I have some JS
that sums those columns and updates the value in the third column with
that info. When updating the third column, which his a TD element, I
tried to use text() to do it:
var total = col1Total + col2Total;
$('#wi_medical_total').text(total);
However, that did not work because the text in the cell never seemed
to get updated. So, I I changed the code to use .html() instead
of .text() :
var total = col1Total + col2Total;
$('#wi_medical_total').html(total);
and it worked just fine. So, I did some more playing and came up with
this:
var total = 5 + 5 + 'p';
$('#wi_medical_total').text(total);
Which finally worked and changed the text correctly to "10p". FYI,
"p" was just a random character.
Can anyone see something I am doing wrong or is this a bug in JQuery?
