Need help to write text in td

Need help to write text in td

Hi,

Need help.

I have table (tableA) with single td. (multiple rows)
td having checkbox (checked or unchecked.)
I create clone of tableA and in that I don't want checkbox. Instead of that I want some text like "checkbox checked" or "checkbox unchecked"

On button click what I done so far is:

  1. function buttonClick()
    {
              //Create clone
              var t = $('#tableA').clone(true);

              //remove all href tag in side td
              $('a', t).filter(function () { return $(this)}).removeAttr("href");

              //To remove checkbox and add text
              //class dummyChk given on <input type='checkbox'>
              $('td .dummyChk', t).filter(function() {
       
                        if ($(this).attr("checked")) {
               
                                  alert("checkbox checked");
                                  //Above check box alert  work properly

                                  //also can view the html of the td
                                  alert($(this).closest('td').html());

                                  //But not able to write text inside td
                                  $(this).closest('td').html('Checkbox checked');
                        }
                        else{
                                  alert("checkbox unchecked");
                        }

              }

    }

Kindly guide.

Thanks,
