JQuery $(this).find("#id").text("text") not changing text

I'm looping through all elements of a certain class on a page and editing the text of an tag in that class with a certain id. I'm referencing the element with $(this).find('#time') and trying to change the text of that object using $(this).find('#time').text("test"), but the the text of the element isn't changing and I can't figure out why.
EDIT:
$('.box').each(function(i, obj){} This is what the loop is, the odd thing is that when i simply reference the text with $(this).find('#time').text() i receive the correct output. But the text won't change when using .text().
Here is the code im using to change the object text:
var time = response.substring(7, 15);
var user = response.substring(16, response.length);
$(this).find('#time').text(time);
$(this).find('#name').text(response.substring(user));
Game Page
<div class="box">
<h1>${{ game_object.amount }}</h1>
<h2 id="time">{{ game_object.start_time}}</h2>
<p id="name">{{ game_object.current_top_user }}</p>
CLICK NOW
</div>

Try to use .html
$(this).find('#time').html("test")
or maybe this can help you:
$('body').find('#time').text('test');
Because the ID of an element must to be unique

How to style text via a javascript function when coming from an input field

I have one input field that facilitates a person having a conversation but playing both roles in the convo. I want to get as close as I can to what its like to have a text conversation, but I cannot seem to sort out how to style the text when it comes through.
As of the moment, the user types the text and hits one of two buttons, each is loaded with the following function to pull the text, create a div, text node, append them and place in the page.
I tried styling the initial input but that simply makes the input field styled, does not affect the actual output.
I tried adding style at each step of the way, to the variable I saved the input in, to the p, the div, the text node, and after placing it in the doc... each time the function failed.
I tried the attribute method and an innerhtml approach.
What would work? At minimum I would love the function to bold and right align the text. Next best would be to append it with the contents of an ng-app so it says Me: (text here), then My future self: (text here)... which I sense would just involve a string set to a variable.. but setting x = {{name}} caused the function to fail..
I know theres a way to use firebug to understand these failures, but I am not quite understanding that yet. Any suggestions?
<script>
function changeTextComment4(destination){
// to be modified from the above to change the location of the dump
// this function ADDS a comment from the comment field to the div w id comment near it...
var userInput = document.getElementById('userInputS1').value;
// get the input from the user
// 3 make the div a panel
var para = document.createElement("P");
// assignment of attributes
var t = document.createTextNode(userInput);
para.appendChild(t);
// add comment area
// place the item
var destination = document.getElementById(destination)
destination.insertBefore(para, destination.firstChild);
document.getElementById('userInputS1').value = "";
document.getElementById('userInputS1').focus();}
</script>

you can add style by referring to the selector
#userInputS1{
color : #F00;
}

Trying to insert a new html with input button

My goal is to create a button that when pushed will execute javascript to insert html that creates a new div with content inside of it. I have been able to get the button to click and
preform a .toggleclass and I have tried to use .html , .insertAfter(input.html()); but I have not had any luck.
My HTML for button
<input id="slideshow" name="viewing" value="View Slideshow" type="button"
onClick="newOverlay();">
current javascript
function newOverlay(){
var newItem = $("<p>Add this text instead</p>");
$("input").insertAfter(this.html("<p> Is this going to work</p>"));
}
I know this is adding a < p > and not a div but I tried to make it similiar thinking if I could get it to insert this paragraph then I could work on inserting the div.
Thanks for looking at this.

If you want to insert a p tag after every input, then you should do
$("input").after("<p> Is this going to work</p>");
If you want to inser the p tag after the input that was clicked then you would do
$(this).after("<p> Is this going to work</p>");

Where do you want to append your new item?
You should do something like this I guess.
function newOverlay(){
var newItem = $("<p>").text("Add this text instead");
$("YOUR_SELECTOR_HERE").append(newItem);
}
Give a sample with jsFiddle.

Need Solution on NicEdit Insert HTML text into Instance

i am using this function to insert text into NicEdit,
function insertAtCursor(editor, value){
var editor = nicEditors.findEditor(editor);
var range = editor.getRng();
var editorField = editor.selElm();
editorField.nodeValue = editorField.nodeValue.substring(0, range.startOffset) +
value +
editorField.nodeValue.substring(range.endOffset, editorField.nodeValue.length);}
This code works fine for simple text but when i pass HTML content into it, it does not render the HTML output in div instead it dumps the HTML code as it is into the Instance Div.
Example:
<div class="one">Some text here</div>
This must show in the Instance as "Some text here"
and remaining code hidden in source code.
Can any one give me a solution to fix this problem?

After working whole night and trying different solutions I had finally got it working! :)
In case any one wants to know solution for this, I had to add a Replace function
replace()
for the content and made it support HTML.

See my answer HERE. It's a plugin I created to insert html at the cursor position.

Extracting text from a HTML to be stored as a JS variable, then to be added to a separate HTML's element

Alrite, I have seen other Questions with similar titles but they don't do exactly what Im asking.
I have 2 x HTML documents, one containing my page, one containing a element with a paragraph of text in it. As-well as a separate .js file
what I want to do is extract this text, store it as a JS variable and then use jQuery to edit the contents of an element within the main page. This is the conclusion I came to but it didnt work as expected, im not sure if it is me making a syntax error or if i am using the wrong code completely:
$(document).ready(function(){
var c1=(#homec.substring(0))
// #homec is the container of the text i need
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function(c1){
$(".pcontent span p") .html(+c1)}
);
});
i know +c1 is most probably wrong, but i have been struggling to find the syntax on this one. thankyou in advance :D

var c1=(#homec.substring(0)) will throw an error because #homec is not a valid variable name, is undefined, and does not have a property function called substring. To get the html of an element with an id of homec, use the html method:
var c1 = $("#homec").html();
c1 should not be an argument of the click function because it is defined in the parent scope. +c1 is unnecessary because you do not need to coerce c1 to a number.
If you are trying to add content to the end of the paragraph, use the append method:
$(".pcontent span p").append(c1)
That means you should use this code instead:
$(document).ready(function() {
var c1 = $("#homec").html();
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function() {
$(".pcontent span p").append(c1)
});
});
P.S. Numbers are not valid ID attributes in HTML. Browsers support it, so it won't make anything go awry, but your pages won't validate.

Try this:
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function(c1){
var para = $(".pcontent span p");
para.html(para.html() + c1);
});

The JQuery text() function will allow you to get the combined text contents of each element in the set of matched elements, including their descendants. You can then use the text(value) function to set the text content of your target paragraph element. Something like this should suffice:
$(document).ready(function() {
var c1 = $("homec").text();
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function() {
$(".pcontent span p").text(c1);
});
});
See the JQuery documentation for more details on the text() function. If you need to capture the full structure of the other document, then try the html() function instead.
