Syntax:

$(selector).text() returns the text content.

$(selector).text(content) sets the text content.

$(selector).text(function(index, curContent)) sets text content using a function.

The solution that work for me is the following:

$("#spanId").text("text to show");

You can use this:

$("#submittername").html(submitter_name);

You are using jQuery(document).ready(function($) {} means here you are using jQuery instead of $. So to resolve your issue use following code.

jQuery("#submittername").text(submitter_name);

This will resolve your problem.

You're looking for the wrong selector id:

 $("#submitter").text(submitter_name);

should be

 $("#submittername").text(submitter_name);

You can do:

$("#submittername").text("testing");

or

$("#submittername").html("testing <b>1 2 3</b>");
