replace anchor text with jquery
<p>i want to replace the text of a html anchor:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;a href="index.html" id="link1"&gt;Click to go home&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>now i want to replace the text 'click to go home'</p>

<p>i've tried this:</p>

<pre><code>alert($("link1").children(":first").val());
alert($("link1").children(":first").text());
alert($("link1").children(":first").html());
</code></pre>

<p>but it all gives me null or an empty string</p>
