how to change a button text in jQuery mobile
button, javascript, jquery-mobile, text
Solution
I've had to do the same thing before, it's really not as obvious to do as it should be. Since jQM adds `span` tags inside your button, you need to change the value inside the span:
$("#login_var .ui-btn-text").text("NewText");
Similarly, if you wanted to change the icon, you could do:
$("#login_var .ui-icon").removeClass("ui-icon-arrow-l").addClass("ui-icon-arrow-r");
Edit: Sorry I just noticed the link you posted in the question has the same solution, and you said that doesn't work for you. Maybe if you changed your buttons to
<a data-role="button"></a>
Instead of `<button></button>`?
