Your code so far

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#target1").css("color", "red");
    $(button id="target4").html("<em>target4</em>");
  });
</script>

<!-- Only change code above this line. -->

<div class="container-fluid">
  <h3 class="text-primary text-center">jQuery Playground</h3>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-6">
      <h4>#left-well</h4>
      <div class="well" id="left-well">
        <button class="btn btn-default target" id="target1">#target1</button>
        <button class="btn btn-default target" id="target2">#target2</button>
        <button class="btn btn-default target" id="target3">#target3</button>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-6">
      <h4>#right-well</h4>

Hi,

You can use $("youElement").html() but some people told me that it is best practice to use $("yourElement").text()

and for your case, don’t use "button id="! you can select your element as same as in css this way $("#target4").html(<em>target4</em>);

Good luck :slight_smile:
