[jQuery] Reading text value on <button> element
I'm trying to read (and then change) the text on two buttons in my
user interface:
<button class="primary approve">Approve selected</button>
<button class="primary reject">Reject selected</button>
Now depending on how many checkboxes (elsewhere) are selected, I want
to change the text to something like "Approve 4 selected"
I'm tried in vain to acess:
$("button.primary").each(function(){
console.log( $('this').text() );//fails
console.log( $('this').html() );//fails
});
and for completeness sake I also tried $(this).value -- but of course
it returns the .value attribute of the button.
2 questions:
How do I access the text and change it?
And where is that documented -- link wanted :)
Any help appreciated :)
