Jquery, set value of td in a table?

Question

I create dynamic a table with <tr> and <td> tags. One of the td tags gets the id "detailInfo". I have an onclick function on some button. I would like to set some value in the td "detailInfo" after pressing on the button.

So how can I set the value of the td with id "detailInfo" ?

This is the td:

<td id="detailInfo" rowspan="2" width="300px">picture detail</td> 

Answer 1

use .html() along with selector to get/set HTML:

 $('#detailInfo').html('changed value');
