Jquery change <p> text programmatically

html, javascript, jquery, jquery-mobile

Solution

Try the following, note that when the user refreshes the page, the value is "Male" again, data should be stored on a database.

$('button').click(function(){
     $('#pTest').text('test')
})

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<p id="pTest">Male</p>
<button>change</button>

Problem

EDIT: The solution was to add this to the profile page instead of the gender page. ``` $('#profile').live( 'pageinit',function(event){ $('p#pTest').text(localStorage.getItem('gender')); ``` }); I have a paragraph with som text in a listview that I want to change programatically from another page after clikcing save. EDIT: This is my listview in profile.html. When you click on the item you get to another page where you can save your gender. I want to change the paragraph in this listview to the gender that was changed from the other page. ``` <ul data-role="listview" > <li><a href="gender.html"> <img src="images/gender2.jpg" /> <h3>Gender</h3> <p id="pTest">Male</p> </a></li> </ul> ``` The gender html page is just basic stuff with two radio buttons and a save button. Here is my javascript code(in a seperate file): ``` $('#gender').live('pageinit', function(event) { var gender = localStorage.getItem('gender'); var boolMale = true; if (gender == "female") boolMale = false; $('#radio-choice-male').attr("checked",boolMale).checkboxradio("refresh"); $('#radio-choice-female').attr("checked",!boolMale).checkboxradio("refresh"); $('#saveGenderButton').click(function() { if ($('#radio-choice-male').is(':checked')) localStorage.setItem('gender', "male"); else localStorage.setItem('gender', "female"); $('#pTest').html('test'); //does not work //$('p#pTest').text('test'); //does not work //$('#pTest').text('test'); //does not work $.mobile.changePage("profile.html"); }); }); ``` I have tried this with javascript: `$('p#pTest').text('test');` The text does not change however. (I know that the save button works). Is this possible?
