jquery set all elements in a given class the same html

Question

I have a page with several total fields. They all share the "totalAmount" class.

I need to set the same value in all these fields with jquery:

var amt = some value; 
$('.totamAmount').each // - Some instruction to set the value to amt;

Answer 1

Simply with val:

$('.totamAmount').val('{the value you want here}');

If they're not form elements, use text:

$('.totamAmount').text('{the value you want here}');

Answer 2

If they are all input fields then you can just do this:

$(".totamAmount").val(amt);
