How to write a value in span tag?

I need with jquery to update value in span

<p id="my_balance"><span class="pr-1">EUR</span>&nbsp;999,999.99</p>

If I make it with code

  $("#my_balance").html(formatted_balance);

san is not updated. If I make it :

  $("#my_balance > span").html(formatted_balance);

Value is written AFTER tag and I have 2 values old and current. Which is valid way ?

Thanks!

I hope this will help. Try to make the simplest example, so that you understand how you target the element in jQuery.

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#my_balance").find("span.pr-1").text("YEN"); // pass your Currency type
  //You can also use html Just uncomment the below line to test.
  //$("#my_balance").find("span.pr-1").html("<strong>YEN</strong>");
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<p id="my_balance"><span class="pr-1">EUR</span>&nbsp;999,999.99</p>

Try to write like this

let myBalance = $("#my_balance");
let span = myBalance.find("span");

myBalance.html('New Text');
myBalance.prepend(span);

Replace New Text with the value you need
