jQuery increment value of tag

Question

I have a number in a span tag. I need to get the value of the number in the span and then increment it inside jQuery. I know how to do this for a text input - can this be

Answer 1

$(".changeNumber").html(parseInt($(".changeNumber").html())+1)

Answer 2

I assume you mean something like this?

<span id="Nbr">123</span>

If so, the InnerHTML property will give you the content of the span

Answer 3

You can do something like:

var value = parseInt($(".changeNumber").text(), 10) + 1;
$(".changeNumber").text(value);

1. parseInt()
2. text()

Answer 4

This is the most complete answer.

1. This solution avoids selector repetition
2. Handles the increment gracefully if the span does not have a value yet.

<span class="changeNumber"></span>

var $number = $('.changeNumber');
$number.html((parseInt($number.html(),10) || 0) + 1);

Answer 5

Something like this:

var $span = $('#mySpanId');
$span.text(Number($span.text()) + 1);

}
