JQuery span tag change value - link from another div

Question

So my html code is:

<div class="product-details"> <div class="availability in-stock"> Availability: <span>In stock</span> </div> </div> 

I would like to use jQuery to change the value of the range "in stock". I am somewhat new to Javascript and JQuery, so how would I change this range value without using an identifier for the link.

Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

 $('.in-stock span').html("your new string");

Answer 3

What you are looking for is either text() or html() , for example:

 $('.availability span').html('This is what you want to change it to');
