want to replace the text inside span of parent div

Question

I have my html structure like

  <div>
   <div class="comments-title-wr clearFix">
    <span id="commentsSize" class="comments-title">Some Text</span>
    </div>

    <div id="testId">

    </div>

 </div>

I can retrieve testId and using this I want to replace text inside <span> tag.

I tried using

  $('#testId').parent().closest('.comments-title').text().replace('something else');

but it's not working

Answer 1

You probably want

$('#testId').parent().find('.comments-title').text('something else');
