How to set inner HTML of a span element using jQuery
<p>The following gives me the error <em>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier</em>:</p>

<pre><code>$('span.xtro').html('');
$('span.xtro').html('&lt;input type='button' class='newbutton send' value='Send request' onclick= 
                      "javascript:request('send','1','2');'&gt;');
</code></pre>

<p><strong>How can I correct this?</strong></p>
