Try the following  note that when user refreshes the page  the value is  Male  again  data should be stored on database    lt p id  pTest  gt Male lt  p gt   lt button gt change lt  button gt    lt script gt     button   click function             pTest   text  test       lt  script gt    http   jsfiddle net CA5Cs

saving  is something wholly different from changing paragraph content with jquery    If you need to save changes you will have to write them to your server somehow  likely form submission along with all the security and input sanitizing that entails   If you have information that is saved on the server then you are no longer changing the content of a paragraph  you are drawing a paragraph with dynamic content  either from a database or a file which your server altered when you did the  saving      Judging by your question  this is a topic on which you will have to do MUCH more research   Input page  input html     lt form action   saveMyParagraph php  gt       lt input name  pContent  type  text  gt  lt  input gt   lt  form gt    Saving page  saveMyParagraph php  and Ouput page  output php    Inserting Data Into a MySQL Database using PHP

It seems you have the click event wrapped around a custom event name  pageinit   are you sure you re triggered the event before you click the button   something like this       gender   trigger  pageinit
