How to use `html()` to insert text into an element?

Question

I want to display "00:00" on the page but the page is empty I don't know why it's not working.

$(document).ready(function(){
    var minut = $("#minut").html;
    var mid = $("#mid").html;
    var sec = $("sec").html;
    minut = "00";
    mid = ":";
    sec = "00";
});

HTML

<span id="minut"></span>
<span id="mid"></span>
<span id="sec"></span>

Use .text() to display text within the div you are querying... Check out snippit

You were also missing a # symbol in your sec selector.

 $(document).ready(function(){ let minut = $("#minut"); let mid = $("#mid"); let sec = $("#sec"); minut.text("00"); mid.text(":"); sec.text("00"); });
