TypeError HTMLSpanElement has no method 'html'

Question

I get the error

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLSpanElement> has no method 'html'

When I am running this method

$("input[name=advancedSettings]").change(function() {
  $('span[id^="sFile"]').each(function() {
    this.html('Hey');
  });
});

And span should of course have a method called text and html, and I have tested with both

Answer 1

You should run .html() on a jquery object:

$(this).html('Hey');
