You can't use the val() attribute, you need to use the text() attribute. Its
still not clear to me what you are trying to accomplish, so I played a
little and here's what I came up with for you to peruse.
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<script src='jquery.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(event) {
$('a.cartSummaryLink').click(function(event) {
aLink = $(event.target);
aLink.text( aLink.text().replace('Cart','My Shopping
Bag'));
event.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a class="cartSummaryLink" href="#">View Cart</a>
</body>
</html>
HTH,
