jQuery: replace text inside link? [duplicate]

Question

I have the following html structure:

<div class="event tiny">
    <a href="/whatever">Something</a>
</div>

And I want to replace the text of this link with "Anything" …

When doing this …

$('.event a').replaceWith("Anything");

… the text is replaced but also the link is gone.

When doing this … 

$('.event a').text().replaceWith("Anything");

… nothing happens.

Answer 1

Like this, if the new text is all the same.

$('.event a').text("Anything");

jQuery loops over the a elements, and replaces its content with the "Anything" text.
