Answer 1

You can use jquery's .text() or .html() to set or get the text/html content.

Below is the example.

 let item = $('#item'); item.text(item.text() + ' You');

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <ul class="list"> <li id="item">How are</li> </ul>
