Jquery to update a label
Hi there,
I have the following JS.
var expandCollapseLabel = document.createElement("la
expandCollapseLabel.id = "ExpandCollapseLabelID";
expandCollapseLabel.innerH
Later on, in another function I have to update the label.
I tried the following. It is getting called, but the label is not updated. How can I do this? Thanks.
$("#ExpandCollapseLabelID"

.val() is used for input elements not Label's - you have to treat the label as you would any other text element.
You also seem to be mixing JQuery and straight javascript - to update the element using JQuery as you are attempting you can do this

$("#ExpandCollapseLabelID").html("+");
Here is a complete sample using just JQuery
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a>Click</a>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var el = $('<label/>').attr('id', 'ExpandCollapseLabelID').html('-').appendTo('body');
$('a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
el.html("+");
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
