  </span>
</a>​

and

$("#consumed .ui-btn-text").text("Mark New");

In Nick's solution the text Mark New is fixed. So, instead of having a fixed text "Mark New", the new text is from a variable? For example var newtext = "hello world"

What would the code then look like so that the text is truly variable? Meaning any dynamic text can be put on a button.

  • If you're asking how to make the text truly dynamic, where you would update the `var` at any time and that would update `button` text, you are not truly understanding how JS works. – bvulaj Aug 07 '12 at 20:39
  • Brandon, not to get into details to much, but I am updating/refreshing the page every 200ms. In my case 200msec is fast enough. – Timo11 Aug 07 '12 at 20:57

Like this:

var newtext = 'something';
$("#consumed .ui-btn-text").text(newtext);
