How to change the element with no ID in jquery?

The HTML codes are like this:

<div id="select1_chzn" class="chzn-container chzn-container-single" style="width: 250px;">
     <a class="chzn-single chzn-single-with-drop"
      href="javascript:void(0)" tabindex="-1">
     <span>AFF5</span>
<div></div>
</div>

I was wondering how I could change the <span>AFF5</span> to <span>Another</span> in jquery. Does anyone have ideas about this? Thanks!

The title says "How to change the element with no ID in jquery?"

If you want to target all spans with no ID within the div #select1_chzn, you could do

$("#select1_chzn span:not([id])").text(...);

It seems like you want the last span:

$("#select1_chzn span:last").text(...);

parent child, like this:

$("#select1_chzn span").text('Another');

You can actually search for spans based on their contents if that is the only way you have of identifying them.

​$("span:contains(AFF5)").text( "Another" );

However, this is case sensitive.

Use the CSS selector

#select1_chzn span

I am not jquery person, but I have seen enough questions here on SO to guess that you would use

$('#select1_chzn span')

Could use the id of it parent

$("#select1_chzn span").text("Another");

UPDATE

Using > means direct descendant where as a space means descendant not necessarily direct.

$("#select1_chzn span").text("Another");

Simple use of a standard CSS descendant selector should do in this case.

You can use any available css-selector for selecting jquery objects, for example this should work:

$('span').text('Another');
