Change the Text of a Option with jQuery
How can I change the text of an option with jQuery? I'd like to change Newest with Oldest in an option is a <select> element. $('select option:contains("Newest")').changeText('Oldest'); .replaceWith would not work for me. Thanks. ----Update---- If my script looks like this: $('select option:contains("Newest")').text('Oldest'); $('select option:contains("Oldest")').text('Newest'); Then I'm canceling out the first script, however, that isn't what I want. I have two options one that reads "Newest" which I'd like to replace with "Oldest" and one that reads "Oldest" which I'd like to replace with
