How do I replace jQueryUI button text?
- by Andrei Railean
I've got a button that I use with jQueryUI somethink like this (simplified).
<button id="mybutton">Play<button>
<script>
$("#mybutton").button().toggle(
function(){
$(this).text('Stop');
},
function(){
$(this).text('Start');
},
);
</script>
This code breaks the way the button looks because when making it into the button widget, there's a new span added inside the button. So I'm changing the button value like this now
$(this).find('span').text('Stop');
This is hacky because I can't treat the button as a black box anymore and have to go inside.
Is there a clean way to do this?
