hey people I'm new at jquery and i have been trying to figure this out for like the past couple of hours... what the hell am I doing wrong here? All I want to do is change the innerHTML of a div.
$("left_menu_bar").innerHTML = "You clicked me!";
but the div doesn't change at all when I call the function with that code init.

To set the value of innerHTML property, you use this syntax: element. innerHTML = newHTML; The setting will replace the existing content of an element with the new content.
We can replace HTML elements using the jQuery . replaceWith() method. With the jQuery replaceWith() method, we can replace each element in the set of matched elements with the provided new content and return the set of elements that were removed.
The html() Method in jQuery is used to set or return the innerHTML content of the selected element. Syntax: It returns the content of first matched element. $(selector).html() It sets the content of matched element.
The Element property innerHTML gets or sets the HTML or XML markup contained within the element. To insert the HTML into the document rather than replace the contents of an element, use the method insertAdjacentHTML() .
Do it like this:
// referencing by id
$("#left_menu_bar").html("You clicked me!");
// referencing by class name ( will apply to all div's with this class )
$(".left_menu_bar").html("You clicked me!");
