Answer 1

This is from How do I replace jQueryUI button text?

Maybe you could use the label option of the jQuery UI button now instead?

 $("#mybutton").button().toggle(function() { $(this).button('option', 'label', 'Stop'); }, function() { $(this).button('option', 'label', 'Start'); });

It's because the span tag is removed after setting element.text see this fiddle:
