I'm trying to read (and then change) the text on two buttons in my user interface:
<button class="primary approve">Approve selected</button> <button class="primary reject">Reject selected</button> Now depending on how many checkboxes (elsewhere) are selected, I want to change the text to something like "Approve 4 selected" I'm tried in vain to acess: $("button.primary").each(function(){ console.log( $('this').text() );//fails console.log( $('this').html() );//fails }); and for completeness sake I also tried $(this).value -- but of course it returns the .value attribute of the button. 2 questions: How do I access the text and change it? And where is that documented -- link wanted :) Any help appreciated :) /Jesper Rønn-Jensen www.justaddwater.dk
