How do I change the title of a link using jQuery

Question

Here is the code I have:

      $('#link').attr("href",link) 
      $('#link').text(text)

How do I change the title of a link using jQuery? I'm correctly changing the url, but I can't edit the text, what am I doing wrong?

<a id="link" href="" target="_blank">text</a>



 $('#link').attr("href",data[1].url) 
 $('#link').attr("title",data[1].title) 

<a href="http://link.com">title</a>

I'm tring to simply change 2 things:

1. url
2. title (as show above)

I'm able to change the link, but the title won't change. I'm selecting the wrong trhing. Therefor is there a way to list all attr available to me? Or are you able to help me change the text title above?

Either answer is acceptable.

        <div id="highlight" class="topicHighlight hero1">
            <h3 id="h3">hero_1_large_text</h3>
            <p id="p"></p>
                <span id="coverTextSpan">hero_1_small_text</span>
                <a id="link" href="url" target="_blank">text</a>
        </div>

Solution

use html function:

$('#link').html(text);

or , if you are talking about the title attribute:

$('#link').attr('title','some title');

I think you are making a confusion between the title attribute and the html of a link tag... see w3schools.com/tags/att_standard_title.asp and w3schools.com/jsref/prop_html_innerhtml.asp .... so, if you want to change the link`s html (the displayed text) you need to change the innerHTML property for that link (jquery offers a wrapped function : see api.jquery.com/html
