I think the best way to do this will be to put an <span> that you can select via jQuery and update it's text.
$('h3', $ (this).parent().parent().parent()).find('.my_cool_span').text($ (this).text()); Also you might consider optimizing this parent().parent()... stuff bu using a selector.. http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Traversing/Selectors Regards, Emil Ivanov On Jun 5, 4:39 pm, "Alexandre Plennevaux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hello jQ-zillos ! > > i have a list of links organised in subsections, and i would like to modify > each section title, adding to it a value provided by the link.
