How to change the value of tag using javascript?

Question

Accepted Answer

Use `.innerHTML` or `.innerText`

```
document.getElementById("tagId").innerHTML="new File",
```

OR

```
document.getElementById("tagId").innerText="new File",
```

OR Note: Not all browsers support `innerTEXT`, so use `textContent` if you want to change the text only,

Reference Stack overflow answer

So like @Amith Joki said, use like

```
 document.getElementById("tagId").textContent="new File",
```

Since `<a>` tag doesn't have value property, you need change the html of anchor tags.

Using Jquery

```
$("#tagId").html("new File");
```

OR

```
$("#tagId").text("new File");
```

Edit

If you want to change the href using javascript, USe like this

```
 document.getElementById("tagId").href="new href";
```

USing jquery,

```
$("#tagid").attr("href","new value");
```
