fill a tag using javascript ?

[lofaifa]

i have this tag :

 

<p class="test"></p>

 

i wanna fill up this tag with data from an ajax file .. i tried this :

 

function rate(value){
var rate=value;
$.post('public/ajax/rate.php',{rate:rate},function(data){
               //nothings wrong with beta 
                var beta=data;
	$('.test').attr('value',beta);
});
} 

 

doesnt work !

you mean you want to change the inner html of the tag i think?

 

$('.test').html(beta);
