Hi again Bala,

Like your other question here: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/youve-just-learned-how-to-use-the-jquery-methods-text-and-html-use-the-appropriate-jquery-method-to-set-the-conten

They now want you to select the <h1> tag and use the other method that you chose not to use in the 2nd part of the challenge.

To change the markup inside of the selected element you would use .html(). To change just the text you would use .text().

This works for me

$(".profile-text").text("I am a web developer"); $(".profile-header").html("Sudent <span>Profile</span>");

It is correct, but dont forget to check all frases. The work "Student" was misspelled.

So, the correct code is: $(".profile-text").text("I am a web developer"); $(".profile-header").html("Student <span>Profile</span>");

have a good luck.
