jquery changing innerhtml of a P isn't working
<p>I have what I thought was a simple select with jQuery to change some text on a paragraph. It works perfect the traditional way i.e.</p>

<pre><code>document.getElementById('message_text').innerHTML = "hello";
</code></pre>

<p>But with jQuery it doesn't. I have checked the values of <code>$('#message_text')</code> and sure enough I see the items.</p>

<pre><code>$('#message_text').innerHTML = "hello";
</code></pre>

<p>Am I doing something wrong?</p>

<p>Anyone have any ideas?</p>
