onclick on span using jquery

Question

I have the following HTML: ``` Prev ``` I need to change 'Prev' once click on span using jquery. This is my code: ``` $(".ui-icon.ui-icon-circle-triangle-w").click(function(){ $(".ui-icon.ui-icon-circle-triangle-w").html('«'); }); ``` But it does not work, why?

Accepted Answer

Maybe your code is executed too early. And your html element just doesn't exist when your code is executed. So `$(".ui-icon.ui-icon-circle-triangle-w")` is just empty.

You can use this :

```
$("body").on('click', ".ui-icon.ui-icon-circle-triangle-w", function(){ 
    $(this).html('«');         
});
```
