Updating HTML from PHP function
<p>I am having problems updating a SPAN in my HTML with the result from a PHP file.  In the HTML below the  is a link that calls the php file that will update the SPAN above it with the new value.  </p>

<p><strong>HTML</strong></p>

<pre><code>        &lt;div class="link-votes"&gt;
            &lt;span id="v&lt;?php echo $link_id; ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php echo $votes; ?&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;a href="#" class="vote" id="&lt;?php echo $link_id; ?&gt;" name="up" title="Up vote"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p><strong>PHP</strong></p>

<pre><code>if($_POST['id']) {
    $up_value=$row['vote_count'];
    $("#v"+id).html(html) = $up_value;
}
</code></pre>

<p>If I echo $up_value the right integer is printed.  But I cannot update the value in the SPAN.\</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
