JQuery .click() function or .text() not changing text -


i don't know why following code won't change "hi" "does work" when button clicked. i'm pretty new jquery i've seen nothing here wrong. great. thanks!

<!doctype html> <html> <head> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script>     $(document).ready(function(){         $("#btn1").click(function(){             $("#textplace").text("does work?");         });     }); </script> </head> <body>     <label>text should appear here</label>         <p id="textplace">hi</p>     <button id="btn1">click here</button> </body> </html> 

i have jquery "btn1" being button , "textplace" being <p>. paragraph hardcoded "hi". when click button, text not change. both btn1 , textplace id button , p

try this:

$("#btn1").click(function () {     $("#textplace").prev('label').text("does work?"); });
