When using the  html   method  a htmlString must be the parameter   source  Put your string inside a HTML tag and it should work or use  text   as suggested by farzad   Example    lt div class  demo-container  gt       lt div class  demo-box  gt Demonstration Box lt  div gt   lt  div gt    lt script type  text javascript  gt     div demo-container   html    lt p gt All new content   lt em gt You bet  lt  em gt  lt  p gt       lt  script gt

if your value is a pure text  like  test   you could use the text   method as well  like this      div total-title   text  test      anyway  about the problem you are sharing  I think you might be calling the JavaScript code before the HTML code for the DIV is being sent to the browser  make sure you are calling the jQuery line in a  lt script gt  tag after the  lt div gt   or in a statement like this     document  ready      function                div total-title   text  test               this way the script executes after the HTML of the div is parsed by the browser
